I opened a file on the remote machine, and typed C-u M-! and then typed tree command. It showed in the buffer:
/bin/sh: tree: command not found
The tree command is installed into /home/RNAer/bin, and I verified it can run successfully when login with bash terminal.
Then I added the path in the .emacs like the following and restart emacs,
(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "/home/RNAer/bin")
but it still has the same error of command not found. what's the problem?
I had the same problem, I solved by adding the following lines to .emacs
(require 'tramp)
(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "/home/RNAer/bin")
Note that without first line the second line throws error. You could double check your tramp-remote-path by
(message (format "%s" tramp-remote-path))
to see if your path is set correctly.

There's a huge literature on the topic, but, nevertheless, I cannot get this done.
My ultimate goal is to work with fstar on Microsoft Windows.
C-x C-f resolves ~ as C:/Users/myname which is in line with my HOME environment variable in the Environmental variables Windows section.
(expand-file-name user-emacs-directory), as described here yields, C:/Users/myname/.emacs.d/
In C:/Users/myname/.emacs.d/ I have placed .emacs.el and init.el with the suggested script:
(require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" .
"http://melpa.org/packages/") t) (package-initialize)
However M-x returns undefined, no matter if I start Emacs with or without the -q flag (see here). My "Messages" buffer is empty".
A couple of things you could try:
Check the value of the variable user-init-file (use C-h v). That should tell you if Emacs loads the file you want it to load. If you started Emacs with the -q option, the value of this variable should be nil.
The error M-x is undefined can be caused by rebinding the Escape key. (That's because pressing a key while holding down the "Meta" key is equivalent to first pressing Escape and then the key in question.) Is there something in the init file that might cause this to happen?
Try starting Emacs with -Q instead of -q. This makes Emacs skip "site-wide" init files. I can't really think of a reason why your system would have any of those, but it might be worth ruling this out.
You could edit your question and include your entire init file (surround it with ``` on a line by itself), so we could have a look.
I'm trying to add a remote directory to my ecb directory pane by modifying the ecb-source-path variable in my .emacs file under Emacs 24.2, ecb 2.40, OS X 10.8.2. The following works via tramp from within emacs:
/username#server.com:/home/username
/username#server:/home/username (have set up an alias server->server.com)
/server.com:/home/username (username is same as local user, so can be omitted)
/server:/home/username
I'm not sure whether I have the syntax wrong, but I've tried the following to add the path to ecb:
(setq ecb-source-path (quote("/username#server.com:/home/username"))) (**)
(setq ecb-source-path (quote("/server.com:/home/username")))
(setq ecb-source-path (quote("/scpc:username#server.com:/home/username")))
Which cause emacs to hang when issuing ecb-activate, with no error messages displayed in the message buffer
(setq ecb-source-path (quote("/username#server:/home/username")))
(setq ecb-source-path (quote("/server:/home/username")))
(setq ecb-source-path (quote("username#server.com:/home/username")))
Which result in message: Warning: Source-path <ENTERED PATH> is not accessible - ignored!
Has anyone done this and know the correct syntax for adding remote paths to ecb-source-path? According to the documentation, (**) should work. If the syntax is indeed correct, are there any tips for debugging what might be going on and causing emacs to freeze? Or is this an issue with ecb itself?
I have followed instructions from How can I run Cygwin Bash Shell from within Emacs? this question and I have gone further and added the (setq explicit-bash-args '("--login" "-i")) command, however emacs continues to only display the dos prompt when I type M-x shell. In summery my .emacs file looks like this:
(defun cygwin-shell ()
"Run cygwin bash in shell mode."
(interactive)
(let ((explicit-shell-file-name "C:/cygwin/bin/bash"))
(call-interactively 'shell)))
(setq explicit-bash-args '("--login" "-i"))`
Please be gentle with the answers as I am right at the bottom of the famous vertical emacs learning curve!
If you implemented the answer from that question, note that you have to do M-x cygwin-shell to start bash. If you want to use it for every M-x shell you need to call
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "C:/cygwin/bin/bash")
Since you stated that you are learning, here's a few tips when trying this out.
type C-x C-f ~/.emacs to open your .emacs file in your user path.
Enter your function above at the end
M-x load-file [RET] .emacs: loads the buffer (no need to restart emacs)
C-h a: If you are interested in some specific action, you can look it up
C-h v [RET] variable: can inspect the variable, check the value of explicit-bash-args for instance
And, btw, I'm not sure what the "--login -i" does, but someone stated in a comment that you should have that so "ls" would work. If you have your cygwin bin path in your PATH environment variable, bash will find ls anyway. No need to escape the path variable either, this is handled by bash (do an echo $PATH in bash when you get it working and you'll see).
I am using the following tutorial:
http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/installing-clisp-emacs-and-slime-on-windows-xp/
I have set-up all the directories and downloaded all the necessary files. However, on step 4. I am using the emacs command "eval-buffer". I type in my settings, ran "eval-buffer", received feedback (in the bottom bar), and assumed everything worked correctly. Then when I ran M-x "slime" I received the error:
Spawning child process: invalid argument
I assumed I had typed something incorrectly in my .emacs file so I re-edited it. However, now when I attempt to run M-x "eval-buffer" I receive no feedback and I don't believe my new code executes.
My file, by the way, is:
(setq inferior-lisp-program "C:/Documents and Settings/U9UW/Desktop/root/bin/clisp/full/lisp.exe -B C:/Documents and Settings/U9UW/Desktop/root/bin/clisp/full -M
C:/Documents and Settings/U9UW/Desktop/root/bin/clisp/full/lispinit.mem -ansi -q")
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Documents and Settings/U9UW/Desktop/root/bin/emacs/site-lisp/slime/")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
eval-buffer actually was evaluating. To fix the problem "Spawning child process: invalid argument", one has to replace the first line with:
(setq inferior-lisp-program “clisp”)
I'm trying to get emacs tramp running under Windows XP to work over putty plink on an Amazon EC2 instance. The documentation for doing this is sparse. I can find partial documentation, but none that addresses all the steps required to get this working.
Can anyone provide a walk through, or a pointer to a walk through?
(add-to-list 'load-path
(expand-file-name "C:/tools/emacsw32/emacs/lisp/tramp/lisp"))
(require 'tramp)
;(setq tramp-chunksize "500")
(setq tramp-default-method "plink")
from my dot-emacs file. If I find more notes, I shall add them here.
I'll assume you have a GNU/Linux server you want to access, a username and a .ppk file. Also, Emacs 24.4+.
First set up server in PuTTY Configuration
In section Session, specify Host Name, for example username#server.
Go to section Connection > SSH > Auth and Browse for your "Private key file for authentication".
Back to section Session, name your Saved Sessions, for example putty-test, and click Save button.
Check your connection by clicking the Open button. If it works, you can close these now.
Next, head to your Emacs.
Make sure Emacs knows where your plink.exe is. One way is to just inform Emacs directly in your .emacs, for instance I have at the moment,
(setenv "PATH" (concat "c:/Users/Brady/Documents/putty/;" (getenv "PATH")))
Simply type C-x C-f //plink:putty-test:/ RET. Wait a moment while it connects, and window will open to dired buffer on the remote ~/ directory.
This worked for me on :
Windows 10
Emacs found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/emacsbinw64/files/release/.
cygwin64
Putty.
https://github.com/d5884/fakecygpty
The changes from the original tramp-sh.el is
for cygwin, use fakecygpty with ssh and change the prompt to ##
for plink, remove -ssh option
I have also renamed these method with w to differentiate it.
