In emacs, I can edit files remotely using tramp. While ssh’d to a remote server in ansi-term at a specific location, I can open the remote files in emacs as if that remote location is my working directory. This is taken form here. Put the following in the remote server’s .bashrc file:
## Emacs: ansi-term + tramp integration ## in ansi-term, ssh to this remote computer, can do C-x C-f and find file in REMOTE working directory ## http://www.enigmacurry.com/2008/12/26/emacs-ansi-term-tricks/ #Emacs ansi-term directory tracking # track directory, username, and cwd for remote logons if [ $TERM = eterm-color ]; then function eterm-set-cwd { $@ echo -e "\033AnSiTc" $(pwd) }# set hostname, user, and cwd function eterm-reset { echo -e "\033AnSiTu" $(whoami) echo -e "\033AnSiTc" $(pwd) echo -e "\033AnSiTh" $(hostname) }
for temp in cd pushd popd; do alias $temp="eterm-set-cwd $temp" done
# set hostname, user, and cwd now eterm-reset fi
For SunOS servers, /usr/ucb
is not in path, and whoami
is not found. I need to put /usr/ucb
in PATH
in my .bashrc
file. Credit belongs to this thread. Now while ssh’d to a remote server in ansi-term, try C-x C-f
, and see the working directory on the remote server available by default.
