Re: Tramp on Windows XP

[John L . Utz III]

I cant answer why emacs doesnt do the right thing in this case, and i am
surprised that you didnt get the imfamous 'terminal is not a TTY' ( google for
it :-( )

however, the good news is that tramp works swimmingly with the plink from
puTTY:

C-x C-f
/plink://address@hidden:cvs-co/development/centeris/path/to/file/etc...

i am going from an XPProSp2 box to various linuxen. 

if you are trying to go to another XP box or from unixy-thang to XP (reverse
of my use case) then i have no idea if that will work.

another intermediate testing step would be to try and run your ssh session in
eshell (Esc-x eshell) and see if it works or hangs....bet it hangs...
