Hi all...
Due to some miracle (I dont know what happened) I can now connect with
tramp from windows (with plink). My question is now: Can I make a file (like
.netrc for ange-ftp) where I can store hostname and my credentials so I
dont have to type them everytime? If yes, what is it called and how is the
format

Thanks in advance
                                   Søren

Try looking at the "Customizing Completion" section of the Tramp
manual for hints.  I think it should be possible.

One way is to define a session in the PuTTY Configuration dialog (the
one that pops up when you click on the PuTTY icon on your desktop)
for each machine you intend to connect to via Tramp.  Be sure to
put your login name into the "Auto-Login username" field (under
"Connection"), to avoid plink's prompt for username.
