Check these three links - each has different information which together complete the answer - normally it's expected that you do a search yourself before asking questions but I found that it would have been very difficult to find these without knowing one of the answers.

HTH!

I'm using bash it has that feature, but it works only when bash can see those files, so if you want auto comlete to work with the files that are for example in /var/log you need to add it to your path, but in working dir it should work anyway.

I used set -o emacs and pressing ESC twice does the job.
