I've reviewed some of the Emacs tramp documentation, but I'm not sure what the issue is.
If I'm using Cygwin, I don't need the putty components for this, do I? When I attempt to open a text file in my homedir on a remote host, which I can ssh to (passwordless) from the shell, it just times out. The *Messages* buffer shows this (fqhn is the hostname): ------------------ Tramp: Opening connection for fqhn using scp... Tramp: Sending command ‘exec ssh -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPath='tramp.%C' -o ControlPersist=no -e none fqhn’ Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell... Timeout reached, see buffer ‘*tramp/scp fqhn*’ for details Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell...failed Tramp: Opening connection for fqhn using scp...failed ----------------------- There doesn't appear to be a buffer named "*tramp/scp fqhn*". -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
