Why does Tramp hang when using remote shell?
If you are using a customised prompt in your shell, tramp can hang if it doesn’t recognise the remote shell prompt. The obvious symptom is that tramp hangs with the message “Waiting for prompts from remote shell”, but it can also hang or freeze up after this, before successfully opening the requested file.

What does a remote file name look like in tramp?
TRAMP extends the Emacs file name syntax by a remote component. A remote file name looks always like /method:user@host:/path/to/file. You can use remote files exactly like ordinary files, that means you could open a file or directory by C-x C-f /method:user@host:/path/to/file RET, edit the file, and save it.
Can you transfer files from one host to another using Tramp?
TRAMP can also transfer files between hosts using standard Emacs interfaces, a benefit of direct integration of TRAMP in Emacs. TRAMP can transfer files using any number of available host programs for remote files, such as rcp, scp, rsync or (under MS Windows) pscp.
