Hello Alexander Lukyano, Michael Stapelberg and all,
http://michael.stapelberg.de/lftp_vi/ The above page offers the following patch: http://michael.stapelberg.de/lftp_vi/lftp-completion.patch I wanted to re-roll the patch against the latest development snapshot, but I was not able to find the lftp source repository. http://lftp.yar.ru/get.html The "Development source" section is empty. I downloaded the lftp-4.2.3 snapshot. Inside, the README has some CVS instructions: By CVS: [...] export CVSROOT cvs login (empty password, just hit enter) cvs -z9 co -r lftp-2-0-3 lftp (if you omit -r option, you'll get latest development sources) I tried that but I got: $ cvs login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@[...].free.net:2401/home/lav/cvsroot CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: connect to [...]free.net(193.233.48.88):2401 failed: Connection refused Thus, I was unable to make a properly formatted patch. Probably, both the REAME and the website should be updated. Anyhow, I did test the patch here: http://michael.stapelberg.de/lftp_vi/lftp-completion.patch and it works except that it has an extraneous ! It should be: + if (strcmp(buf, "edit")) + return REMOTE_FILE; It's a convenient patch to use together with the edit command defined in /etc/lftp.conf. Can it be committed in the mainline source? I use vim to edit files. Currently my only problem with the 'edit' command, is that the vim syntax highlighting is not enabled by default, whereas it is when I use vim from the console (outside of lftp). Also: what does the lftp-vim plugin do that the 'edit' command (with vim set as the $EDITOR) does not do? I tried to see by myself, but unfortunately, I was not able to compile the plugin. When running lftp with this plugin, I got the following error: ~/.lftp/cmd-edit.so: undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0 See the ticket here: http://linux.overshoot.tv/ticket/179 Btw, I documented in English the plugin compilation process that I used, here: http://linux.overshoot.tv/wiki/networking/lftp#Editing_remote_files Lastly, does the lftp project have an official bugtracker? If not, I can easily create a new project for lftp with its very own bugtracker within the http://linux.overshoot.tv/ web site. Can the official web site link to the tutorial here: http://linux.overshoot.tv/wiki/networking/lftp Thanks. Thanks a lot, Augustin. -- Friends: http://www.reuniting.info/ My projects: http://astralcity.org/ http://3enjeux.overshoot.tv/ http://linux.overshoot.tv/ http://overshoot.tv/ http://charityware.info/ http://masquilier.org/ http://openteacher.info/ http://minguo.info/ http://www.wechange.org/ http://searching911.info/ .
