In ubuntu linux:
I have a remote (ssh) connection through nautilus (gui file manager).
When I right-click a file, I can open, edit and save the file in "text
editor" without any problem. When I open the file in gvim, it is empty.
What can I do to solve this?
Thanks for any help
Method I: Edit a local copy, and download/upload it as a separate step.
Method II: see
:help netrw.txt
:help netrw-start
:help netrw-scp
:help netrw-externapp
:help netrw-read
:help netrw-write
IIUC, in this case every transfer requires inputting a username and password
-- at least if you cannot configure the server and client yourself, see
:help netrw-listhack
Best regards,
Tony.
