[Message part 1 (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.
