Tramp on 24.4/W32

Tramp on 24.4/W32

[Fabrice Popineau]

Can anybody check if tramp is currently working on Emacs/W32 ?
I have tried a quick test and I can't seem to be able to save file on a 
remote Unix machine, at least not out of the box.

c:\>emacs -Q

eval :
(require 'tramp)
(setq tramp-default-method "pscp"
      tramp-default-user "someuser"
      tramp-default-host "somemachine.supelec.fr"
      )

C-x f /popineau@somemachine.supelec.fr:/path/foo.txt
<insert some chars>
C-x f

The trace in *Messages* is :

Any idea of what's going on ?

Thanks in advance,

That doesn't tell too much. Could you, pease, perform
(setq tramp-verbose 6) and rerun the test? The resulting Tramp debug
buffer shall show what's up.

And no, I cannot check Tramp on MS Windows. I don't run such a machine.

Best regards, Michael.

Thanks for your answer and forget about my request.
Someone asked me because tramp didn't work for her.
So I wanted to give it a try and I connected to some machine at work
and failed to write a simple file.
The reason (to my great shame!) : my sysadmin
has put quota on accounts on this machine since last time I connected there.
(And quota of 0 because it is assumed this machine is onl meant to be a 
gateway)
So lets assume it is working for w32 as expected out of the box, with pscp.
