soldering bicycle brake cable ends

Over the years I have tried to solder various wire ropes, never beenanything near successful. I have tried emery cloth to clean the end, greasyflux stuff and different temperatures. I have always found another method tosolve the problem at hand. I just want to know how to do it before onceagain I'm looking at blobs of solder refusing to bond with the cable.cheers Roy
