With the win-ssh-agent, we can use the ssh-agent (available inthe cygwin openssh) in the more smart way. Normally, we need to start all relevant programs, which mightneed to
use the ssh, as child processes of the shell(e.g. bash) in which you eval'ed the ssh-agent. ?Because, theprograms must be able to refer to environment variables thatset by the ssh-agent. The win-ssh-agent enables all programs to refer to theenvironment variables of the ssh-agent, i.e. theSSH_AUTH_SOCK. ?Now, we no longer need to start programs aschild processes of the shell.
Example:
Consider the ntemacs ( http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/ ) .
(3) I want to use the tramp ( http://www.gnu.org/s/tramp/ ) in the ntemacs. With it, I can treat documents on the remote machine as if they are on the local machine by: C-x C-f /sshx:username<at>hostname:~/remote-file
