Thanks for testing. With "working proper" I meant the Linux and FrreBSD
cases I'm able to test. Good to get feedback for MS Windows.

What I'm thinking for a longer time is to enable remote processes on MS
Windows, as remote target. AFAIK there is also an OpenSSH server for
that beast, so it must be possible to start remote processes via ssh
from a local Emacs running on, let's say, Linux.

The smb method must be extended for this, but that shall be
possible. ATM, smb-like connections use winexe for remote processes on
MS Windows. But I don't know whether this is really used by somebody,
and winexe doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. I even don't know
whether it is cooperating with MS Windows 10. WDYT?
