Steve Youngs <youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt; writes: Ditto:-) Whee. In principle, it ought to be possible, but there are some gotchas with the right ssh port: some ssh ports on Windows will not allocate a pty even though you tell them to. Adrian, could you have a look at the Tramp mailing list archive at www.mail-archive.com (or www.mailarchive.com -- I always forget)? You'll find the list under two names, one is tramp-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net, and the older one is emacs-rcp(a)ls6.cs.uni-dortmund.de. The info you're looking for is probably in the older one. Please keep me posted about any results (I don't read xemacs-beta). Thanks. kai -- Simplification good! Oversimplification bad! (Larry Wall)

I know that there has been success with the plink executable from the PuTTY tools. I believe that inline methods (sm, su &c.) work reasonably well with the Cygnus native ssh(1), but that there are more troubles with the out-of-band methods (scp &c.). I never used it under Windows but Tom Roche is da man -- he did a lot of work on that side of things. He has a couple of pages about it: <http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tlroche/cygwinTramp.html> <http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tlroche/plinkTramp.html> If you get backtraces or whatever, or just can't figure it out, I can probably answer basic functional questions about it. :) Daniel, intermittent TRAMP developer. -- Anglo-American culture seems to be governed by the perverse belief that portrayals of the body's abuse or destruction are harmless, even fortifying, while those that show the body in pleasure act like poison. -- Walter Kendrick (ca 1990)
