title: Remote ssh connection from within Emacs
body: <p>Several questions, including <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1668988/how-do-i-use-ssh-from-emacs/">this</a> one, discuss aspects relating to ssh connections from within Emacs. I haven't found an answer to my question though: <em>How can I ssh into a remote machine from within Emacs?</em></p>
  
  <p>I do not wish to edit a file on the remote machine from within Emacs. I am aware of <code>M-x</code> <code>shell</code> which opens a shell on my local machine and I am aware of using TRAMP to edit a file over ssh on the remote machine. However, neither of these relate to this question.</p>
  
  <p>(Instead of voting to close, maybe migrate the question to another site.)</p>
