There were reports that it might be necessary to access a remote server
at least once by the PuTTY GUI, before using with Tramp. Or it even
might be necessary to configure a PuTTY session.

Don't know, I'm not using Windows.

Best regards, Michael.

(I'll continue to check the ange-ftp case by tomorrow, when I have
access to such a mysterious machine, again)
