4643 @unnumberedsubsec Q4.7.7: Can I edit files on other hosts?
4644
4645 Yes. Of course XEmacs can use any network file system (such as NFS or
4646 Windows file sharing) you have available, and includes some
4647 optimizations and safety features appropriate to those environments.
4648
4649 It is also possible to transparently edit files via FTP, ssh, or rsh. That
4650 is, XEmacs makes a local copy using the transport in the background, and
4651 automatically refreshes the remote original from that copy when you save
4652 it. XEmacs also is capable of doing file system manipulations like
4653 creating and removing directories and files. The FTP interface is
4654 provided by the standard @samp{efs} package @ref{Top, EFS, , efs}. The
4655 ssh/rsh interface is provided by the optional @samp{tramp} package
4656 @ref{Top, TRAMP, , tramp}.
