I'm using GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin6.2), having been 
warned away from XEmacs on OS X, and I'm confused about why I'm not 
getting the opportunity to enter a password when attempting to access 
remote filesystems.

My tramp/nil buffer says:


xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com's password:
Process *tramp/nil xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com* killed


and my Messages buffer says this:


Loading tramp...
Loading regexp-opt...done
Loading tramp...done
tramp: Opening connection for buysanfr@buysanfranciscotours.com using nil...
tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell
tramp: Waiting 60s for prompt from remote shell
tramp-action-password: Out of band method `nil' not applicable for 
remote shell asking for a password


...having not found anything helpful with Google, I thought I should ask 
here. It looks to me as though password authentication is no longer 
supported? I have to admit that my interpreting-emacs-messages-fu is 
quite limited.

So is there something I need to set up or configure before I can use 
Tramp? I'm stuck using icky *other* text editors until I can figure this 
one out.

Thanks,


Steve

If your remote shell asks for a password, then the invocation of scp
(or rcp, or whatever) will also ask for a password.  And Tramp is not
prepared to send a password at that point.

Solution: use an inline method instead, such as ssh instead of scp.
