Tramp mode - file open does not work

i try to access remote computer via ssh-tramp mode in emacs using this blog, http://swizec.com/blog/cool-thing-thursday-emacs-tramp-mode/swizec/5646 Command recipe given:

C-x C-f //
username@
hostname
password

but, after i press C-x C-f // \n username@, it creates a new file as username@ in the current dir.

What am i missing to activate tramp mode? i use ido mode which i disabled by pressing C-f

Solution

  • I use the following to open remote files: C-xC-f/user@host:/path/to/file.
