[slime-devel] slime-filename-translations usage

Hi, I have setup a remote host where I am building (slowly) several webapps using Common Lisp. As a GNU Emacs user, I am also using SLIME which makes all this fun work even funnier, thank you. I have a question with s-c-t. I have something like this in my local .emacs file: ;; Path translation (must have slime-tramp loaded) (push (slime-create-filename-translator :machine-instance "maillard.mobi" :remote-host "maillard.mobi" :username "xma") slime-filename-translations) Which, if I understand correctly should allow me to "kludge" emacs/slime and be able to send remote file in my local slime REPL. The problem is I do not understand how I should open the remote file. Do I need to do as usual via tramp or is there a trick not to type the long /ssh:.../ string ? Thank you -- Xavier Maillard

You have to use the tramp commands and long filenames. Slime doesn't actually transport the file. We just rewrite the filename so that tramp, or Emacs' file-name-handler, will access the remote file for us. Helmut.
