3 History of TRAMP
******************
TRAMP development started at the end of November 1998 as ‘rssh.el’. It
provided only one method of access. It used ‘ssh’ for login and ‘scp’
to transfer file contents. The name was changed to ‘rcp.el’ before it
got its preset name TRAMP. New methods of remote access were added, so
was support for version control.
April 2000 was the first time when multi-hop methods were added. In
July 2002, TRAMP unified file names with Ange-FTP. In July 2004, proxy
hosts replaced multi-hop methods. Running commands on remote hosts was
introduced in December 2005. Support for gateways since April 2007.
GVFS integration started in February 2009. Remote commands on Windows
hosts since September 2011. Ad-hoc multi-hop methods (with a changed
syntax) re-enabled in November 2011.
In November 2012, added Juergen Hoetzel’s ‘tramp-adb.el’.
In December 2001, XEmacs package repository adds TRAMP.
