+A remote filename containing a host name only, which is equal to a
+method name, is not allowed.  If such a host name is used, it must
+always be preceded by an explicit method name, like
+@file{@value{prefix}ssh@value{postfixhop}ssh@value{postfix}}.

 Finally, for some methods it is possible to specify a different port
 number than the default one, given by the method.  This is specified
 by adding @file{#<port>} to the host name, like in @file{@trampfn{ssh,
 daniel, melancholia#42, .emacs}}.
