Using SSH in an Emacs for Windows shell

Using SSH in an Emacs for Windows shell

[mhpemberton]

Hi,

I can see this question has been asked a few times over the years on
various forums, but I haven't seen a very recent one.  If I try to SSH
from a Windows shell in Emacs, I get an error which reads :
"Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal"

Has there been a work-around developed for this yet?

Thanks,
MikeP

What port of Emacs is that and which port of SSH?  If one of them is a
Cygwin port, while the other isn't, there could be incompatibility in
their respective emulations of pipes/terminals/pty's.

Use        M-x term RET 
instead of M-x shell RET

Thanks for the reply.  I tried that and got a message saying:

'Run program: C:/Program Files/emacs-21.3/bin/cmdproxy.exe'

... at the bottom, hit return and got:

'Spawning child process: invalid argument.'

Any ideas?  Thanks!
