I'm trying to use tramp to edit files that are in a windows 10 machine through emacs tramp on macOS
I'm getting connection failed and suspect it has something to do with tramp not recognizing the shell as i see in other posts, however i'm a newbie and unsure how to go about doing this.
I've tried:
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe")
and:
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "C:\\Windows\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe")
Emacs hangs, and after a while a buffer is shown with what would look like a successful connection, with microsoft corporation, the version etc.. but full of special characters like \^M, and i immediately get a timeout.
I'm completely unsure of what to do at this point and would appreciate some help
