You might not have the required host permission to mount a filesystem or you might not have sshfs at all (think about gnu emacs on windows).
Tramp is agnostic in most things (well, you need an ssh client at least).
- contravariant 6y agoCalling tramp a solution for windows is somewhat iffy though. So far I don't think there's an easy way to simply get it to work on windows (the path handling seems to forbid tramp-like paths on windows, which messes with things quite considerably).
- znpy 6y agoMeh, it worked well enough for me when I had to use it on windows 7 first and 10 later (using putty as ssh client).
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoYeah, you can get it to work with putty, but it's nowhere near as reliable as from Mac/Linux to server (and to be fair, network issues make it a less than optimal solution if you have a choice). These days I just tmux on the server, open emacs and hack away (as long as you can install things on the server).

- dan-robertson 6y agoTramp works for non-ssh remote terminals. Also it leads to remote commands running automatically rather than running commands locally against a remote fs.
