I've set up Tramp on Emacs on my Windows 7 box (64 bit). For this test, this is the only thing in my emacs-config:
(setq tramp-default-method "plink")
Then I connect to my Ubuntu Server 9.10 running in a VM on my local network.
Connection goes fine, i can use dired to browse folders and open files. Yay!
However, git status shows up as:
Git:master^M
An when i open speedbar all folders and files ends with ^M, ie:
<+> conf/^M
Does anyone know how to prevent this line-ending collision from occurring?
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) did the trick!
Thanks Tom for the clue... Getting Tramp to work on my windows machine was no trouble at all. I'm using this version of Emacs:
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7600)
of 2009-10-15 on LENNART-69DE564
With this in my init.el:
(setq tramp-default-method "plink")
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
Putty directory with plink-app is in my system path.
Then: C-X C-F /username@192.168.0.2: and Tab brings up password prompt then autocompletion on servers-files.
