You may wish to leave tramp-rsh-end-of-line at the default > value of "\n", but change tramp-password-end-of-line to "\r\n". I have downloaded 2.0.16 from the CVS archive on [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/tramp and tried it out, and I only need set (setq tramp-password-end-of-line "\r\n") and otherwise the code works without modification. I was foxed by the change of syntax for a while, wondering why [plink/user@host]~/file did not kick tramp off, but after looking at the documentation, I realised the error of my ways. I have noticed that 1. I cannot use /hostname:file as it does not get the password prompt, while /user@hostname:file works. 2. The code is always uploading the perl code for encoding/decoding, while before I could use the existing binary mimencode on the remote host. I'm not sure it these are down to another RTFM issue, but even my old pm method ;; Use plink with MIME (base64) encoding (add-to-list 'tramp-methods '("pm" (tramp-connection-function tramp-open-connection-rsh) (tramp-rsh-program "plink") (tramp-rcp-program nil) (tramp-remote-sh "/bin/sh") (tramp-rsh-args ("-v" "-ssh")) ;; "-v" optional (tramp-rcp-args nil) (tramp-rcp-keep-date-arg nil) (tramp-su-program nil) (tramp-su-args nil) (tramp-encoding-command "mimencode -b") (tramp-decoding-command "mimencode -u -b") (tramp-encoding-function base64-encode-region) (tramp-decoding-function base64-decode-region) (tramp-telnet-program nil) (tramp-telnet-args nil) ) ) now pushes the perl code to the server.
