[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I have a Linux VM that I ssh into from my MacOS machine. From the terminal, in shell, this looks like: `ssh user <at> localhost -p 2222`. This works.

I also am able to use tramp to ssh into a different machine. On the terminal, this looks like `ssh machinename`. For tramp I use `M-x dired <RET> /ssh:machinename:/home/user <RET>`. 

I am trying to ssh into the localhost via emacs. I use `M-x dired <RET> /ssh:user <at> localhost#2222:/ <RET>`. This does not work. The message it will show is “Opening connection will for user <at> localhost using ssh…” forever.

Emacs will become unresponsive, and I will hear my fans very loudly. This continues for as long as I’ve let it. I have to Force Quit emacs. I am running GNU Emacs 30.0.50.

Thanks for the confirmation. Closing the bug.

I cannot reproduce it here. Please check, which "rm" command you use,
you'll see it in the *eshell* buffer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~ $ which rm
eshell/rm is a byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘em-unix.el’.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If it is the same for you, please write a new bug report. Append the
contents of your *eshell* buffer in order to see the commands, and in
order to reproduce it locally.

Best regards, Michael.
