Any way to use tramp under Windows XP?

Any way to use tramp under Windows XP?

[Water Lin]

I don't want to configure Emacs again on my Linux Server, so I want to
use tramp to edit remote source file.

But I am using Windows XP, I tried tramp but Emacs crashed. I try to
google related information, but it seems nothing special.

Is it possible to use tramp under Windows XP?

Thanks

Water Lin

It should be.

If Emacs crashed then please send a bug report.

It definitely does. All you need is PuTTY. Configured.

I'm using tramp to access my linux box from WinXP all the time. It
doesn't need PuTTY but uses windows FTP. The only problem I face with
not using PuTTY is that all new files are in dos format (annoyingly).

That would be ange-ftp rather than tramp which you are using.  Tramp
goes through a shell account, not ftp.

Yeah and I can tell you from experience that the best way is to use
`plink'. Its one of the `putty' set of tools.

Google up the `putty download page'  and get putty, plink, pscp,
psftp'

All will be useful at some point.  In emacs, to use plink it very
similar to ange ftp
 
  /method:user@host:/path/file

  C-x C-f /plink:myuser@host:/some/directory/file
  (Where myuser is the user on `host', you will login as) 

Plink as method works from vista too, where ssh as method never seems
to (for me).

Also the putty terminal.. if you want to ssh to windows, is quite a bit
nicer than the one with cygwin.

The one big calling card for a cygwin terminal (for me) is that it
speaks smb.. if you have shares setup on the network hosts.

cygwin terminal can do things like:  `cd //host/share'

I'm told you can get smb (as method) to work in tramp too but I
haven't been able too. But since I had an array of other methods.. I
didn't try all that hard.

You can have your cake and eat it too: cygwin + putty

http://code.google.com/p/puttycyg/

and to top off the windows experience, take a look at XKeymacs for all the
other applications you use, http://www.cam.hi-ho.ne.jp/oishi/indexen.html
