Using emacs Tramp on Windows, I am trying to remotely log in to a windows PC. It issues following plink command which fails (both on emacs and cmd.exe)
While putty gives me a session. I would want to use it via emacs. What do I need to do to make it work on Tramp on Windows.
Note: I have tried the byte-compile-file tramp-sh.el fix as mentioned in one SO answer. updated to using Emacs 26.1 via Git MSys2 (minimal cygwin, we could say). Referred to few more answers and did not find much help for target windows PC. Any help pointer is appreciated.
cmd.exe:
C:\Users\myUser>plink -v -l int***** -ssh -t inpu******* " env 'TERM=dumb' 'PROMPT_COMMAND=' 'PS1=
#$ ' ssh " && exit | exit

Update 1: Using MSys2 instead of /bin/sh just exits (expected to start a shell session using MSys2)
