I'm experiencing a problem when trying to connect to a remote linux server using tramp and putty on windows.
I'm using the following function to call and connect to the remote server
(defun server-connect ()
"Tramp-connect to remote system home folder"
(interactive)
(find-file "/plink:myusername@server_address:~")
)
And by using it I can successfully open a dired buffer to the remote server home folder (although sometimes I experience an authentication problem at this point as well).
The problem is after I open a remote file, make edits, and try to save those edits, tramp asks for my password again. At this point I type my password and tramp doesn't seem to be able to authenticate it, because it continues to ask me my password until the remote server blocks me out due to too many failed attempts.
The same thing happens if I try to open a remote REPL through ESS for example.
I don't have much experience with tramp, and debugging this has been really hard, because any time I'm locked out of the remote server I have to wait for 24h.
Thank you,
