I just installed Vim 7.3e BETA from the Cream site and I think I've
found a bug in netrw.
I start gvim by double-clicking the Vim icon on my desktop. Then I
execute
:e sftp://usern...@server.com/.vimrc
A command window pops up containing
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c sftp "usern...@server.com:.vimrc"
C:\DOCUME~1\USERNA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\VIA12.vimrc
Connecting to server.com...
usern...@server.com's password:
When I enter my password, the following appears in that same command
window.
Fetching /xc/u/g/username/.vimrc to
C:DOCUME~1USERNA~1LOCALS~1TempVIA12.vimrc
Couldn't open local file "C:DOCUME~1USERNA~1LOCALS~1TempVIA12.vimrc"

shell returned 1
Hit any key to close this window...
Vim's buffer is empty.
In addition to that, I see two potential problems. One is that
there are no backslashes between directories in the error message.
Another is that netrw is apparently trying to put the temporary file
in a path containing the remote user's name rather than the local
user's name.
I am running this on a Windows XP machine. The "username" on the
remote system is different from my Windows user name. I also have
7.3f BETA which I compiled for Cygwin on the same machine and the
same :e command works fine on the Cygwin version. I am using the
versions of netrw that came with the Vim 7.3 installations.
Check over your settings for the following; make sure that you can
submit commands with them (:! dir):
" set shell : name of shell to use for ! and :! commands
" set shq : shellquote -- how to quote characters about the cmd
passed to shell
" set sxq : shellxquote -- includes redirection (shellquote excludes
that)
" set ssl : shellslash -- when set, forward slash used to expand
file names
" set shcf : shellcmdflag -- flag passed to shell to execute ! and :!
commands
" set sp : shellpipe -- string used to put output of :make into
errorfile
" set srr : shellredir -- string used to put output of filter cmd
into temporary file
Cygwin provides a more-unix-like environment; the settings you have that
run with it aren't likely to be the ones you need for windows.
What is your $HOME?
What does :call tempname() show?
Can you run a debugging trace? (see :help netrw-debug)
