I'm having issues getting tramp to authenticate to a remote linux server from a Windows 7 machine using the `plinkx` tramp method. Tramp simply requests the password over and over until I cancel the operation. A connection to the same server with the same credentials using the `plink` method works correctly.
I have found a relevant thread on this list, however the OP disappeared without solving the issue. That thread is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tramp-devel/2011-10/msg00004.html In putty I've saved a session for `$USER@$HOST:$PORT`. I'll call this session `foo`. >From the command line when I run: plink -load foo -t env 'TERM=dumb' 'PROMPT_COMMAND=' 'PS1=#$ ' /bin/sh I am prompted for the password for $USER. When I log in I receive a `#$` prompt. In emacs I run `C-x d /plink:$USER@$HOST#$PORT:` and I am prompted for a password and can log in and dired loads as I'd expect. In emacs I run `C-x d /plinkx:foo:` and I am prompted for a password repeatedly until I cancel the operation. The tramp version I am using is 2.2.3-24.1 which was bundled with my emacs version 24.1.1. All of these steps were completed in an emacs started with `runemacs.exe -q` so my specific configuration should not be interfering. Any ideas? I'm happy to provide any information needed.
