That was the initial problem. Thanks to Kai and Michael for seeing it. After correcting this, I could not connect at all. Kai suggested looking at the tramp/ssh buffer. It contained
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. Could not create directory '/home/jack/.ssh'.
Next Kai suggested

The tramp/ssh buffer then contained only one line:
Could not create directory '/home/user/.ssh'.
Kai's next reply was

After checking, I found that the directory was already there -- we've been using secure shell between the various unix hosts for a while. I renamed it and tried again. The result in the tramp/ssh buffer was the same:
Could not create directory '/home/user/.ssh'.
That's where it stands now. I'm still using ftp to connect, but that option is likely to disappear sometime soon.
NT Emacs 21.2.1 is running under Win2K. Tramp version is 2.0.38. In the .emacs file I have
(require 'tramp)
(setq tramp-debug-buffer t)
(setq tramp-verbose 10)
(setq tramp-auto-save-directory "c:/Documents\ and\ Settings/jack/My\ Documents"
tramp-default-method "ssh")Jack
