I am trying to use Tramp, but it seems unable to execute the ssh command.
Here is the error from *Messages*:
Tramp: Opening connection for AWS2 using ssh... Word wrapping enabled Tramp: Sending command ‘exec ssh -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPath='tramp.%C' -o ControlPersist=no -e none AWS2’ Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell... Tramp failed to connect. If this happens repeatedly, try ‘M-x tramp-cleanup-this-connection’ Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell...failed Tramp: Opening connection for AWS2 using ssh...failed and this appears briefly in a pop-up buffer:
/bin/sh: 1: exec: ssh: not found which makes me think it might be something to do with the PATH that Emacs is getting.
The contents of the auto-generated tramp file inside ~/.emacs.d/, which I have deleted and was recreated:
;; -*- emacs-lisp -*- <20/07/16 14:53:07 /home/user/.emacs.d/tramp> ;; Tramp connection history. Don't change this file. ;; You can delete it, forcing Tramp to reapply the checks. (((tramp-file-name "ssh" nil nil "AWS2" nil nil nil) nil)) AWS2 is a Host defined in ~/.ssh/config, with other settings (User, Identityfile, Port, etc).
More info:
- I have tried
tramp-cleanup-*-connections(all variants thereof). - Tried instead using the
sshx:command/prefix - same error. - I can open a plain bash terminal and successfully connect using
ssh AWS2. - In other IDEs, I am also able to set up an ssh-based SFTP connection and that works fine.
- I have set a simple prompt on the remote machine for "dumb"
$TERMvalues. - Tramp version:
2.3.5.26.3 - Emacs version:
GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2019-12-23 - OS:
Ubuntu 16.04 - Restarted my machine
- Looked for any clues that Tramp has been blocked on the remote machine (given other connection routes work), but didn't find anything.
