What are the alternatives, please? The major problem is when "other modes" call external programs. Often, they are not prepared to run on remote hosts. This is not because of Tramp; Tramp provides just the infrastructure. OTOH: you are working on Windows, IIRC. If the remote host runs a Samba server, mount the directory. Best regards, Michael.
