Vim, NERDtree and remote files editing

[caruso_g]

Hi,
I am using Vim to edit files downloading them with a FTP application
(Transmit) that just makes me choose "edit with" in is contextual
menu. I also use the excellent NERDtree plugin to browse folders and
files.

Is there a way to use directly Vim to edit remote files (like in
modern IDE)? And, more, is there a way to also use NERDtree to do
that?

Thank you all.

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1075 provides support
for that.

Have you tried Linux?

[Tony Mechelynck]

see :help pi_netrw.txt

For instance:

:view ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/README

to see the latest "table of contents" of the patches for Vim 7.2.

Similarly, :e[dit]ing or :vie[w]ing a remote directory (with the ending
slash in the filename!) should display a directory listing.

Best regards,
Tony.

If you're using Linux or Mac you can mount FTP locations.
However you should either switch swap files off then or put them into a
different location.
