Emacs: Tramp doesn't work

Question

I tried to open a remote file via Emacs via Tramp.

(require \'tramp)
(setq tramp-default-method \"ssh\")

I get a message from Emacs

Answer 1

Had you checked Emacs wiki for solution? ssh is in PATH? It's also recommended to use plink on MS Windows - see section "Inline methods" in Tramp documentation
