I've spent several weeks trying to make Tramp running with Cygwin's
ssh. Finally I gave up, because I didn't find a way to cooperate with
their pseudo tty. Starting Cygwin's bash first, and afterwards ssh
from there, doesn't work either, IIRC.
A "cygwinized Emacs", i.e. built under Cygwin, doesn't suffer from this
problem.
Another workaround is ssh-agent, because the only hurdle to pass is
the interactive passphrase handover to the shell starting ssh.
Note that I'm neither an expert in MS Windows nor in Cygwin, just a
very occasional user. Some people tried to help, also w/o success.
Because this belongs to the top list of "Tramp's annoyances", I would
appreciate any new idea what to do.
Best regards, Michael.
