Remote Editing
Setting:
;; Set default tramp-default-method to ssh as well as ;; insert ":" into shell-prompt-pattern (setq tramp-default-method "ssh") (setq shell-prompt-pattern "^[^#$%>:\n]*[#$%>:] *")
helps tremendously in getting tramp to work using ssh. Now just get ssh pre-shared key working through Cygwin and run xemacs (or emacs) through Cygwin and tramp should work fine!
But even better may be to get editing of remote files working in Eclipse. Here's how you do that:
- Install the following from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios:
- Remote System Explorer End-User Adapter
- Remote System Explorer User Actions
- PTP RDT Remote Tools Support
- PTP Remote Development Tools (RDT)
- PTP Remote System Explorer
- Configure new systems through the Remote Systems view
System monitor can be very useful to pin various deeply nested remote folders to.
