Emacs: Tramp doesn't work

Question

I tried to open a remote file via Emacs via Tramp.

(require \'tramp)
(setq tramp-default-method \"ssh\")

I get a message from Emacs

Answer 1

By the way -- if You need tramp to sudo -- You can actually sudo without tramp using sudoedit.

Currently I'm using this bash function:

erf () { SUDO_EDITOR="emacsclient -a emacs" sudoedit $@; }
