Does it help to use ssh or scp instead of sftp?
Cannot use ssh or scp on that server, as it has no /bin/sh (maybe it is possible to install one, I do not know). So I tried sftp to see if that could work, since I can access the Android server with sftp from the command line and also using the Gnome/Mate remote server access, which I suppose uses sftp (they call it SSH method). >Does sftp work in general, or is it broken also for other hosts (no >Android devices)? Just tried (never used it before) and no, it does not work, same behaviour. Note that starting with Gpg2 (if I remember correctly) which used a keyring daemon under X to get the password propmpt, I regularly kill the keyring daemon, in order to get the password prompt in the Emacs minibuffer. That works with gpg mail. I suspect that Tramp does something that needs the keyring daemon whe using sftp:. I use regularly ssh: or scp: and they work. Ah, using ssh: on that server works until it tries to execute /bin/sh, meaning the login does in fact work _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
