Using TRAMP on Windows; first steps.
I decided to give TRAMP a spin on windows. In order to get it initially working I needed to take the following steps:
- download plink.
- add the location of plink to the windows path (on the page how to set the windows path there is a description, that didn’t quite work for me but got me close enough).
After doing this I now have a local emacs editing a remote file. It remains to be seen if it is quick enough (although I am connected over a very fast network, so I do not expect problems). The big advantage is that the local emacs has much better default color scheme than the default of emacs over putty.
