If you have a command line ssh client where connecting to a remote host looks somewhat like this: /---- | ssh host -l user | user@hosts' password: | You have new mail. | host% \---- Then it should work. Tramp looks for the password prompt and then asks you for the password. Another alternative would be that you use some ssh client which pops up a new window which asks you for a password. Then you can use this client, too, since Tramp won't notice that the ssh client is asking for a password. Alas, I don't know much about Windows, so I can't help too much. Does this help, at least a bit? kai PS: I don't see why using ssh with ssh-agent would be insecure. -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
