I am attempting to open a remote file, using a double hop (through a gateway) with ssh keys and key forwarding.

The command I give emacs:

ssh:user@gateway|ssh:otheruser@desthost:~/myfile.txt

And I keep getting the below output instead of the file:

Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents

According to [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/16410046/113848), you need a slash sign at the beginning. – legoscia Mar 28 '14 at 17:37
Thank you, of course it was something stupid. – LetyCo Mar 31 '14 at 16:24
