    Why don't you connect without the password and use public/private key? Commented Jul 15, 2014 at 15:46
  • I was told that I couldn't connect that way. While I technically could, it isn't acceptable with the policies that have been put in place. I also have no voice/authority to make that change (quickly?) either. So in my case, in examining the roads of least resistance, this seems to have promise. Commented Jul 15, 2014 at 16:04

    I take it that the remote box doesn't have tmux installed? Otherwise it would be much better to ssh into the remote box and only then launch tmux. // Also, I'd suggest that you make use of your ~/.ssh/config file: put Host foo, User user and Hostname example.com on three consecutive lines in the config file. Then ssh foo becomes equivalent to ssh [email protected]. // Maybe something like this helps, too: command-prompt -p 'log in as:' -I '[email protected]' 'split-window -v -d %1; split-window -v -d %1' Commented Jul 16, 2014 at 23:06
