What "commands" am I giving? All I'm trying to do is open a single file on the remote host. I'm entering "//fqhn:/home/<myuid>/.bash_profile". I get different behavior using "emacs -Q". I don't get a timeout error, but I also don't think it even attempted to connect to the remote box. The editor view just opens with the given name, but it's empty (it shouldn't be). The "*Messages*" buffer doesn't indicate that it ever tried to make a connection. It also says "Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents". The other frustrating issue with my full Emacs configuration is that when I enter the second forward slash, key response vastly, and I mean vastly, slows down. I've gone through the tramp FAQ looking for potential performance issues, but nothing has helped. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
