I have tried:
M-x compile
In minibuffer:  cd /plink:..:<pathToGoTo>  && ./build.sh
It failed because the sh shell actually tried to find the /plink directory

Then I tried
M-x compile
cd <pathToGoTo> && ./build.sh

Then it failed with:
No such dir found via CDPATH env variable (I assume this is my local
windows box)

Hello,

My usage is now well established after a few weeks. I waited for your return to continue with further questions:-)

I need to type my password every time I issue a new command like compile or grep.

Is there a way to cache it?

reminder: I have the win version emacs 24.3 32bit. Tramp logs in through a gateway, with a subprocess plink.

MM,
