Problems with netrw scp
Hi, I'm having some trouble getting netrw v109(vim 7.1 win WinXP) working with scp. :Nread scp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/hosts ..results in the following errors. **warning** (netrw) unable to comply with your requestscp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/hosts Enclosing the URL with double quotes makes no difference either. :messages NetrwMessage --No lines in buffer-- Error detected while processing function netrw#NetRead: line 91: E121: Undefined variable: b:netrw_fname E116: Invalid arguments for function s:GetTempfile(b:netrw_fname) apply correct suffix E15: Invalid expression: s:GetTempfile(b:netrw_fname) apply correct suffix line 360: E108: No such variable: b:netrw_fname I get the same error no matter what g:netrw_scp_cmd is set to. There's no command window popping up when the Nread is done so I don't think it's even attempting to run the scp executable (which is pscp in my case). Any suggestions ? - David

Here's some pointers: * Did you know that you don't need to use :Nread? Just :r ... would be fine. * Drop the second colon from scp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/hosts AND I suspect you want /etc/hosts, not /root/etc/hosts (/root generally acts as the home directory for root), so try using: scp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]//etc/hosts * Did you read :help netrw-pscp, :help netrw-p8 for how to set netrw up to use pscp?

Thanks. * Drop the second colon from scp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/hosts AND I suspect you want /etc/hosts, not /root/etc/hosts (/root you're right.. I did want /etc/hosts that's why I didn't put ~/etc/hosts (/root/etc/hosts) :) I was thinking of the usual scp path syntax. generally acts as the home directory for root), so try using: scp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]//etc/hosts * Did you read :help netrw-pscp, :help netrw-p8 for how to set netrw up to use pscp? yes, like I said I had set g:netrw_scp_cmd. I missed the lack of a colon in the netrw-ref section though, assuming that the normal scp syntax would work. After getting rid of the colon *and* getting rid of the double-quotes it works (for :r at least). :r doesn't work with the quotes (E32: no file name), :Nread does. Thanks, David
