I attempted in vain to get tramp up on NT emacs. I tried various flavours of ssh, cygwin builds of ssh and nt emacs and then, reluctantly at first, xemacs. First I tried the native xemacs build. Eventually, I went for an all-cygwin build of xemacs, and a cygwin install with the cygwin ssh tools. Success! For me, on my Windows 2000 machine, it worked pretty much out of the box. I set up a version 2 (RSA) key, putting the public key in .ssh/authorized_keys2 (*not* .ssh/authorized_keys) on the remote server. I'm now happily tramping/ssh-ing away from xemacs on Windows 2000 onto the remote server, and very nice it is too. Dired, file completion all work nicely. I spent some time removing things like toolbars and tabs on xemacs, but I enjoy some of the additional graphical features that come with xemacs. A half-hour of adjusting .emacs to .xemacs/init.el, fixing font sizes and switching from hilit-19 to font-lock, was well worthwhile. Not that this is relevant here. Good luck to those who might come after me. Many thanks to those who went before. Tim Jervis. http://timjervis.com/
