Emacs + tramp + plink


I'm trying to get emacs tramp running under Windows XP to work over putty plink on an Amazon EC2 instance. The documentation for doing this is sparse. I can find partial documentation, but none that addresses all the steps required to get this working.

Can anyone provide a walk through, or a pointer to a walk through?


Solution

  • (add-to-list 'load-path
     (expand-file-name "C:/tools/emacsw32/emacs/lisp/tramp/lisp"))
    (require 'tramp)
    ;(setq tramp-chunksize "500")
    (setq tramp-default-method "plink")
    

    from my dot-emacs file. If I find more notes, I shall add them here.
