tramp: GVFS based methods

 
 4.4 GVFS based external methods
 ===============================
 
 GVFS is the virtual file system for the Gnome Desktop,
 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS>.  Remote files on GVFS are mounted
 locally through FUSE and TRAMP uses this locally mounted directory
 internally.
 
    Emacs uses the D-Bus mechanism to communicate with GVFS.  Emacs must
 have the message bus system, D-Bus integration active, D-Bus
 (dbus)Top.
 
 ‘afp’
 
      This method is for connecting to remote hosts with the Apple Filing
      Protocol for accessing files on macOS volumes.  TRAMP access syntax
      requires a leading volume (share) name, for example:
      ‘/afp:user@host:/volume’.
 
 ‘dav’
 ‘davs’
 
      ‘dav’ method provides access to WebDAV files and directories based
      on standard protocols, such as HTTP.  ‘davs’ does the same but with
      SSL encryption.  Both methods support the port numbers.
 
 ‘obex’
 
      OBEX is an FTP-like access protocol for cell phones and similar
      simple devices.  TRAMP supports OBEX over Bluetooth.
 
 ‘sftp’
 
      This method uses ‘sftp’ in order to securely access remote hosts.
      ‘sftp’ is a more secure option for connecting to hosts that for
      security reasons refuse ‘ssh’ connections.
 
 ‘synce’
 
      ‘synce’ method allows connecting to Windows Mobile devices.  It
      uses GVFS for mounting remote files and directories via FUSE and
      requires the SYNCE-GVFS plugin.
 
  -- User Option: tramp-gvfs-methods
      This custom option is a list of external methods for GVFS.  By
      default, this list includes ‘afp’, ‘dav’, ‘davs’, ‘obex’, ‘sftp’
