Thank you for the quick reply. Emacs 26 is what is provided by my Linux
distribution, so I'm likely to stick with that.
I tried installing tramp-2.5.0.4 from GNU ELPA and it installed into my
home directory, but doesn't seem to want to load, I keep getting the
version of tramp that is installed with Emacs.
When I try and load tramp.elc explicitly from my home directory I get
an error:
(void-function tramp-register-crypt-file-name-handler)
