Thank you, the invocation of plink works correctly.

I just however realized that the server doesn't allow me to actually
run a shell because my user's shell is noshell!!!!!
However SFTP is allowed.
Is there a way to use tramp for file transfers uniquely, ie visit the
remote files, edit, and on saving, it sends them back to server?
