ssh through emacs shell?

Question

I wonder if anyone out there uses ssh through the emacs shell. I am able to connect with the remote machine but I cannot open files to view/edit with emacs using \'emacs filenam

Answer 1

I have been struggling with Xming, which works, but as my internet connection is not the fastest I have to wait more 30 seconds before emacs or any X app even shows up. Also scrolling through a buffer after it has been opened will freeze from time to time => Very annoying

Try No machine (nxserver-freenx server/client). There are free edition servers, absolute the best and fastest solution when you want to connect to a Linux box and use xterm and emacs over X. It shows up immediately and responds so fast. Even over a really slow connection :-) Clients are available for Windows, Mac OS, Linux
