I am using an autocommand to disable syntax highlighting for large

I do this with:

au BufReadPost * if getfsize(bufname("%"))>  512*1024 | set syntax= |
endif

This will disable syntax for files bigger than 512kB.
However this is not working if I access files via scp://...

I assume vim thinks the file has 0Bytes and therefore does not disable
the hightlighting.
I tried some other events (e.g. BufWinEnter), but they didn't work
either for this.

Has anyone experience with events and scp or a good tip how to solve
this?

It would also help if there is a way to let Vim print out every event
it throws.

I don't know if it deals with this situation, but Dr. Chip's LargeFile plugin disables various things to make editing large files more bearable, and since he wrote netrw, too, maybe he's got some appropriate magic in place. Worth checking out, I think. You should easily find it if you Google.

Cheers,

Ben.
