Hello! With vim 5.x, try http://www.erols.com/astronaut/vim/index.html#vimlinks_scripts and click on "netrw.vim vim5.x". You can :Nr ftp://host/path :Nw ftp://host/path :Nr rcp://host/path :Nw rcp://host/path etc. With vim 6.0 several forms of network-oriented file transfer will be both available and transparent! One will be able to vim ftp://host/path and vim will automatically use to read/write the file. Supported transports include: ftp, rcp, scp, and http.
