I normally use either ssh or sftp to access files on the machine, so first I tried setting tramp-default-method to ssh. I got messages that said "Waiting 60s for prompt from remote shell" and then "Login failed." In the list archives I found a suggestion to use sshx, but that didn't work either: tramp: Opening connection for matt@www.example.com using sshx... tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell tramp: Waiting 60s for prompt from remote shell tramp-process-actions: Login failed It's quite possible that I'm doing something wrong. I have: (require 'tramp) (setq tramp-default-method "sshx") in my .emacs, and I'm trying to edit a file by doing something like: C-x C-f /matt@www.example.com:file.txt If I understand correctly, I should see a password prompt in the minibuffer shortly after typing the above and hitting return. I'm stumped. Does anyone see what the problem might be? Thanks, Matt
