tramp: Ad-hoc multi-hops

 
 5.3 Declaring multiple hops in the file name
 ============================================
 
 TRAMP file name syntax can accommodate ad hoc specification of multiple
 proxies without using ‘tramp-default-proxies-alist’ configuration
 setup(Multi-hops).
 
    Each proxy is specified using the same syntax as the remote host
 specification minus the file name part.  Each hop is separated by a ‘|’.
 Chain the proxies from the starting host to the destination remote host
 name and file name.  For example, hopping over a single proxy
 ‘bird@bastion’ to a remote file on ‘you@remotehost’:
 
      C-x C-f /ssh:bird@bastion|ssh:you@remotehost:/path
 
    Proxies can take patterns ‘%h’ or ‘%u’.
 
    TRAMP adds the ad-hoc definitions on the fly to
 ‘tramp-default-proxies-alist’ and is available for re-use during that
 Emacs session.  Subsequent TRAMP connections to the same remote host can
 then use the shortcut form: ‘/ssh:you@remotehost:/path’.
 
  -- User Option: tramp-save-ad-hoc-proxies
      For ad-hoc definitions to be saved automatically in
      ‘tramp-default-proxies-alist’ for future Emacs sessions, set
      ‘tramp-save-ad-hoc-proxies’.
 
           (setq tramp-save-ad-hoc-proxies t)
