 ## Emacs
 
 Emacs can in theory edit remote files using [TRAMP](http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/). Emacs 23.4.1 was tested and does not work since TRAMP expects a "shell" rather than the "SFTP subsystem" (see [RFC 4254 section 6.5](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4254#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.

+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 [TRAMP:GVFS-based-methods](https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/#GVFS-based-methods) for requirements and configuration details.
