I don't understand why you say that this cannot possibly work. It
seems to me to be just a limitation of netrw that scp works with
only one file.
I just tried the following command:
scp hostname:*.txt .
and it successfully copied all the *.txt files in my home directory
on hostname to the current directory on the local machine. If netrw
handles a command such as the OP's
vim -o scp://hostname/*.cpp
differently, that seems like a limitation of netrw--albeit perhaps
a reasonable one--rather than something that cannot work.
