Indeed, that was the mistake.

It successfully connected and goes through a set of checks to find
appropriate commands.

Two issues are outstanding:

1. From tramp debug
                        Finding true name for
`/myplink:host:c:/home/user/test/btr.cpp'

because my emacs is on windows, and I did     C-x C-f
/host:test/btr.cpp  or C-x C-f /host:~/test/brt.cpp
Somehow the C drive and my user's Win home dir gets inserted in there....


2.
13:48:35.327000 tramp-do-file-attributes-with-ls (5) # file attributes
with ls: c:/c:
13:48:35.327000 tramp-get-ls-command (5) # Finding a suitable `ls' command
13:48:35.329000 tramp-get-ls-command (1) # File error: Couldn't find a
proper `ls' command

It seems the home directory somehow gets expanded to be the local
windows box home dir...
