VIM: editing files via ftp
Hi All!
I am using RH9 with bash and VIM 6.1 I have plugins enabled in VIM: robertmarkbram:/tmp/ $ cat ~/.vimrc | grep filetype " Use the default filetype settings, so that mail gets 'tw' set to 72, filetype plugin indent on I am trying to edit files via ftp. Using gftp, I can log onto my server like this host name: myhost.edu.au Port 20 username: rob password: blah and grab a file /rob/My Web/default.asp But I am having trouble editing the file. I tried each of the following strings: vim ftp://phd.netcomp.monash.edu.au/rob/My\\\ Web/default.asp vim "ftp://phd.netcomp.monash.edu.au/rob/My\\ Web/default.asp" vim 'ftp://phd.netcomp.monash.edu.au/rob/My\ Web/default.asp' I got this error message after entering username and password: shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory 4 lines filtered Error detected while processing function <SNR>14_NetRead..<SNR>14_NetGetFile: line 13: Can't open file /tmp/v890143/0 Hit ENTER or type command to continue Only "/tmp/v890143/0" changed each time. When I tried this http string: vim http://myhost.edu.au/RobertMarkBram/default.asp I succesfully opened the file, but for reading only - and it didn't ask for my username or password. Any ideas would be most appreciated! Rob :) |
ftp has a limited shell, its only intention is to retrieve or put files on a server, not editing. Use ssh or other means for direct access (via shell) to this server if you want to edit via a command line.
