I am working with emacs in Win7 to develop C++ Code on a Linux server via SSH. Loading and Saving via Tramp (using plink) works well and the "Compile" command in emacs can also be used, but I need to reenter my password everytime.

Is there any way to keep the connection to the shell or save the password? Or do I have to do some authentication in plink?

Of course, I would be happy if you point me to a manual or other file which explains details about this.

Thank you very much!

In short: you'll want to set up passwordless access to the machine using your system's SSH client.

By client:

Further documentation on this case is available here.

Your problem can be solved by ssh keys.

All you have to do is create a DSA key pair and put public keys on your ~/.ssh folder in file named as authorized_keys

On your local make sure you have pageant.exe running, and the key you created for your server loaded into it.

to test the configuration your can do 

plink user@host
