Accessing an sshd daemon is only half of the story. After that, Tramp needs a POSIX compliant shell, and some (UNIX) tools on that remote machine. In order to initiate this, Tramp calls "/bin/sh". Likely, that's not the place for a proper shell on MS Windows. If you know where to find such a shell (a file name), we could try to convince Tramp to go there. > My usual trick for unearthing emacs secrets of this kind — code > search of elisp files on github — isn’t working very well this > time. That's the same approach I do - read the sources :-) > * ben Best regards, Michael. PS: Have you tried Tramp's smb method? It accesses MS Windows, out of the box. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list Tramp-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
