Hello Tony!
Thank you for your answer. I think that i don't have to set something special for FTP. Nothing mentioned in the documentation and i entered the user and password too, so i can't be the missing authentication info. As i said, it looks like netrw can't find some temporary file when i want to store my edited file onto the server. No clue where to look what's wrong here. Using other programs is exactly what i don't want to do. I want to be able to edit a file purely in vim without down- and uploading it using another tool. I know that there are a lot of other nice tools for file transfer.
