Hi Chip,
Thank you for writing.
Yes the set ch=2 command removed the message
"Press ENTER or type command to continue".
(but .... I don't like the big command line)
The trailing slash:
The server is a a linux server. No not an old server.
There is no way to resolve this problem?
A command which indicates to netrw if something is a file or directory
p.e.
td (=directory)
tf (=file)
IIUC you've done something like vim ftp://somehost/some/path/ and
have gotten a directory listing. You're having a problem in that
directories are not being listed with trailing "/"s, thus when you type
a "t" with the cursor atop one of these netrw is not browsing, its
attempting to do a file transfer. The way to resolve this problem is to
find out why you're not getting that trailing slash -- read :help
netrw-debug and maybe we can find out what's happening. I suggest that
if you wish to send me a copy of the trace that you do so directly
rather than flooding the mailing list with it (and remove any passwords
that may show up in it first, please).
Btw no problems in ftp client.
Isn't browsing with netrw using a ftp client possible?
A question about security
Every time when there is a read/write/browse command the username +
password is been sent (not encrypted) over the net. Isn't that
insecure?
No such problems in ftp client isn't it?
ftp is inherently an insecure protocol. If you have sniffers on the
line it doesn't much matter if they get your password once or five
times. My advice is: if you want security, switch to scp. Of course, I
realize that you may not have any choice in the matter as many sites
only offer ftp access -- which is a great boon to the online criminal
element, I'm sure.

Chip Campbell
