[news.eclipse.technology.dltk] Re: Launching Remote Files

[Alex Panchenko <alex@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sheela,

I think this issue belongs to RSE level, though it should be possible to 
implement workarounds in DLTK too.

Are you communicating to your host over the ssh protocol? Could you 
please test if you are able to execute commands over ssh without 
additional prompt using "ssh user@host command"

If it works then it means ssh "exec" channel should be used instead of 
"shell" channel being used by RSE now.

Depending of the result of the check it should be possible to identify 
the correct way to proceed with this issue.

Regards,
Alex
