I'm trying to edit remote files using gvim in this manner: $ gvim scp://usern...@server.edu//home/username/new.txt But everytime I do a save, I have to enter password. I looked up on the internet to see if there's a way by which vim remembers remote passwords.
So I found that creating a file called ~/.netrc does this for ftp transfer (http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/ Editing_remote_files_via_scp_in_vim) I've also changed the permission of the file to 600, but still I'm being prompted for passwd. Am I missing something? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
