Next: Types of connections to remote hosts, Up: Configuring TRAMP [Contents][Index]
Not all methods are enabled by default after loading TRAMP. Some of them don’t work on the local host. Some of them are optional, and must be enabled if it is intended to use them. For all methods described in this manual, it is indicated when the method is optional.
This command enables the optional method method, a string. The command can be invoked interactively like M-x tramp-enable-method RET toolbox RET, with toolbox being an optional method.
If you want to enable an optional method permanently, add something like this to your .emacs file:
(with-eval-after-load 'tramp (tramp-enable-method "toolbox"))
