So it's the Cygwin version of ssh?  Hm.  So please try to get a
connection to the remote end and a shell prompt from the remote end
by invoking ssh from within M-x shell.

I have no idea, but I committed the current Tramp version recently to
the XEmacs package CVS, so you can easily try the new version
yourself.

But first try to get ssh working from within M-x shell.

If "ssh address@hidden" doesn't do the trick, maybe "ssh -t address@hidden" or
"ssh -t -t address@hidden" or "ssh address@hidden bash -i" works.

(I have no idea why it could help to have "-t" twice in the command,
but that's what people have reported about the Cygwin version of
ssh.  And trying it costs only a few seconds.)
