I guess you mean remote files. Otherwise, you could use clearcase.el

Tramp does not support hooking scripts to be executed before accessing
a file. What you can do is starting the view(s) in advance on the
remote machine via "cleartool startview <viewname>". Then you can
access the remote files with their view names, like
"/remote.machine:/view/<viewname>/cc/path/to/file".
