title: Opening a file over ssh in emacs
body: <p>I am on Mac (Lion), using GNU/Emacs version 24.1. I have created a VM, and assigned it a static IP. 
  I want to open/edit files using emacs. AFAI figured out, above version 23, the <code>tramp-mode</code> comes pre-installed. So i tried the following <code>C-x C-f /ssh:username@192.168.1.23:/path_to_file.rb</code> but what it does is creates a file with name <strong>ssh:...rb.</strong></p>
  
  <p>How do i resolve this?</p>
