Recently, tramp-default-method has been changed to "scp" respective "pscp" methods. It has been reported, that people experience a lot of password requests from tramp, when they do not run ssh-agent, or when password.el is not available. For openssh like implementations, I've (tried to) fix(ed) it by adding ControlMaster/ControlPath arguments to the "scp" commands. AFAIK, these arguments are not available under w32, so it shall be checked whether "pscp" is still the preferrable default method. Of course, one would be on the safe side when PuTTY's pageant is running (the ssh-agent pendant). Maybe one could check this during initialization, and set tramp-default-method to either "plink" or "pscp", depending on the result. Anyway, I'm not a regular w32 user, so I would appreciate all recommendations. Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
