This may have already been covered before but I thought I'd let people know I could get 'GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2014-10-24 on LEG570' to ssh to a local VM on port 2222.
The steps are fairly involved and you need to have cygwin installed along with gcc in it to make this work. I followed the instructions mentioned here https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SshWithNTEmacs#toc2 with a minor difference that I used a different fork from the original fakecgpty mentioned. I downloaded it from https://github.com/d5884/fakecygpty Follow the instructions on both pages, make sure the binaries are found by Emacs and you're good to go. and you connect like /cygssh:[email protected]#2222:~/ It might be a good idea to enable backups when editing files and making Messages buffer bigger(setq message-log-max 5000) . Remote editing managed to clobber my .Emacs file though I can't reproduce the problem exactly. I think the minibuffer was doing something '...decoding file' or something when I hit C-g. I had backup enabled and also a git repo and so was back up in quick time. In order to avoid any weirdness, I'd recommend a new Emacs instance for the ssh/tramp connection sessions. sivaram -- _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
