tramp ssh kludge

tramp ssh kludge

[prad]

according to the tramp manual if i want to connect through a different
ssh port i need to do:
/host#42:
which will pass -p 42

however, it hangs. connecting on the standard port without the kludge
was perfect. how do i connect using a different port?

just found a way to solve the issue by using sshx instead of ssh.
put (setq tramp-default-method "sshx") in .emacs and the kludge works
fine. anyone know why it's called a kludge? sounds somewhat derogatory.

Syntax looks OK. Which Tramp version do you use?

Did you enable traces, for checking what happened?

Best regards, Michael.

Try putting the following into ~/.ssh/config
host HOSTNAME_HERE
     Port 42

thx jonathan.
doing this let's me going with ssh and not have to specify the port.
it also works with emacs if i use sshx (but not ssh) and not have to
type /host#42

Historical reasons, maybe it was intended to implement this in a
different way later on. But this happened never.

Could be changed, I guess. Likely I'll do.

Best regards, Michael.
