Re: Problem with Windows

[Vilibald]

Hello,
I had to work from Windows too and had the same setup as you do and 
encountered same error. The cause was the shell prompt which tramp 
didn't recognize.
My way to fix it was to set the tramp-terminal type to "dumb"

M-x customize-variable RET  tramp-terminal-type

and in the .bashrc file check for it and set the the prompt correctly 
along these lines

case "$TERM" in
"dumb")
    PS1="> "
    ;;
xterm*|rxvt*|eterm*|screen*)
    # PS1="my prompt > "
    ;;
*)
    PS1="> "
    ;;
esac

Other option is to customize the variable tramp-terminal-prompt-regexp 
but that caused me more headache.
