    137137Emacs can in theory edit remote files using [http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/ TRAMP]. Emacs 23.4.1 was tested and does not work since TRAMP expects a "shell" rather than the "SFTP subsystem" (see [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4254#section-6.5 RFC 4254 section 6.5]) interface Tahoe-LAFS supports. It's very unlikely that Tahoe will be changed to support a shell interface over SSH, since the set of commands that should be implemented to allow file transfer is not standardized.

    139 However, TRAMP also supports the GVFS as an external backend. It may be possible to edit remote files with Emacs using GVFS, but it has not been tested. See [https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/#GVFS-based-external-methods GVFS-based external methods] in the TRAMP documentation for requirements and configuration details.
