tramp from windows

tramp from windows

[rahed]

Hi,

I reinstalled windows with emacs 24.1.1. When trying to open a file on a
remote machine with a tramp (2.2.6-24.3), the connection gets stuck
after entering a password. I couldn't find the cause so I installed the
latest emacs (24.3.1), did byte-compile-file tramp-sh.el and now I get
this warning:

Warning: Couldn't find a remote shell which groks tilde expansion, using
`/bin/sh'

When connecting to another machine, the warning is:

byte-code: Couldn't find a proper `ls' command

I was able to connect to all machines from previous windows
installation with emacs 24.1.1.

Any clues?

Does it also happen if you start "emacs -Q"? That means, no Tramp
artifacts to be used from previous installations.

Does it help to call "M-x tramp-cleanup-all-connections" before trying
to connect somewhere?

If it still does not work, please eval (setq tramp-verbose) before you
run your test. There will be a Tramp debug buffer then.

Best regards, Michael.

This way it ends up with: Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell
I guess from the Messages buffer that it uses scp.

No, it doesn't.

Fortunately I found out that installing gnutls-3.0.9-w32-bin.zip library
to use gnus with emacs remedies all problems with tramp.

Well, Tramp does not cooperate pretty well with scp on Windows. It is
recommened to use plink or pscp from PuTTY.

So you don't need Tramp anymore, right?

Best regards, Michael.

I don't understand the question, I keep using Tramp.

Well, likely I did misunderstand you. I thought you have used Tramp in
combination with gnus. Forget my remark.

Anyway, if there's no problem left with Tramp for you, that's fine :-)

Best regards, Michael.
