Connect to a remote server over emacs and tramp

If you need to edit files as sudo - info how is in the docs above.

First of all, try to connect to the remote machine over shell, eshell or vterm like so:

ssh username@remotehost

You will get prompted for a password. Enter it and you should be able to connect.

Then open emacs and then let's try to open a file remotely, use the C-x C-f

/ssh:username@remotehost:
# now  you will get prompted for a password (don't forget : at the end of the remotehost name!!)

.authinfo in your home dir will contain your credentials.

tramp file in your .emacs.d will contain your connection history.
