And it works with EShell:

     /home/jon
     $ hostname
     snowball2

     /home/jon
     $ cd /stonepath:~

     /scp:stonepath:/home/jon
     $ hostname
     stonepath

Pretty cool!

My experience using tramp with eshell is that it is painfully slow. However, most of what I would accomplish doing that can be accomplished using tramp with dired instead.

s/with eshell// and I agree. I prefer sshfs, but sometimes you are on Windows and tramp is the only way.

Have you enabled SSH connection sharing? If you have a connection open already, it could leverage that (ssh does it, not tramp).
