I have not had any luck connecting with tramp + emacs on WinXP. If you look below, you can see that the cmd.exe shell is trying to intrepret commands that are intended for the remote shell. I suspect that the intial connection command (i.e. \c "ssh -t -t [EMAIL PROTECTED]") is not getting sent to cmd.exe. I have tried switching to a local bash shell, but tramp is unable to connect to the local shell. This is tramp straight out of the box. I have tried using multiple methods.
When I use sshx (which is recommended for my setup), I get this information in the tramp widow: ssh foo.bu.edu -l foobar -e none -t -t /bin/sh; echo "Tramp" "connection" "closed"; sleep 1 tcgetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device Any advice would be appreciated. emacs-version's value is "21.3.1", tramp-version's value is "2.1.2" # Opening connection for [EMAIL PROTECTED] using plink... # Waiting 60s for local shell to come up...
