Windows: interactive SSH shell buffer?

Windows: interactive SSH shell buffer?

[Elena]

Hello,

is there a way to get an interactive SSH shell in Emacs from a Windows
XP client?

I'm currently using Putty outside of Emacs, but I'd like to use an
interactive Emacs buffer. I have tried "M-x shell" and then running
Putty, but Putty input/output does not get redirected to Emacs.

emacs-version: "23.1.1"


Thanks.

I've tried "M-x term RET", it shows this prompt: "Run program: C:/
Programmi/Emacs/bin/cmdproxy.exe", I hit RET, but it fails with:
"Spawning child process: invalid argument" ("cmdproxy.exe" runs fine
from a console outside Emacs).

Well, I've found CopSSH, which is an OpenSSH port to Windows (console
based), Cygwin based. Now I'm wrestling to make it work with my
NTEmacs. If I manage to make it work, I'll make you know.

Using cygwin + bash + ssh should work, I guess.

My understanding is that CopSSH is such an environment already.

"(shell)" does work with both "sh" and "bash" which come with CopSSH:

(let ((explicit-shell-file-name "C:/Programmi/CopSSH/Bin/sh.exe")
		  )
		(shell))

However, when I try to run "ssh" either the same way:

	(let ((explicit-shell-file-name "C:/Programmi/CopSSH/Bin/ssh.exe")
		  (explicit-ssh.exe-args '("root@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"))
		  )
		(shell))

or via "*shell*" buffer, I get this error:

Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
bash: [4796: 1] tcsetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

[2]+  Stopped                 ssh root@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

It seems it's a known issue:

And supports an agent, even.

No, it doesn't work.

I've just learned that "plink.exe" is the command line interface of
Putty ("putty.exe" is not a console application).

"plink.exe" works interactively from a "*shell*" buffer, however
spurious characters sequences with a "^" prefix appear into output. I
guess I have to tweak some settings.
