The only way to access the server is via ssh. No ftp or sftp. For security reasons, I am not allowed to log in as the app owner user, but instead I have to log in with my personal login with ssh and then use "sudo su - app_admin" to switch to the app owner user. Sudo will of course ask me for my password when I do this. Just to add to the complexity, I need to do all of this on a windows box. Would be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction. I read stories about people having issues getting TRAMP to run under windows.
