You can get v108c from my website: http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW With vim 7.0 and official patches 1-182, vim will emit an error message (but works anyway) when sourcing a remote file. With the same plus the patch to vim's source at http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#SOURCECMD, no error message gets issued. The patch at my website provides a new autocmd event: SourceCmd, which netrw will take advantage of if present. OK, with all that: vim -U NONE -c set nocp|so $HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim -c so scp://HOSTNAME/.vimrc will (a) avoid attempting to source in any local .vimrc (b) source in netrwPlugin.vim from $HOME/.vim/plugin (c) source in the remote .vimrc via scp, presumably on HOSTNAME.

Re: .vimrc from URL
Hi all (Hugo, sorry about the double-post - I replied *wrong*)
I find this idea of a net-vimrc very interesting, so I have made a
simple .vimrc that the OP can use:
===
so $VIMRUNTIME/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
Nread {website}_vimrc.http
sav! ~/__vimrc
so ~/__vimrc
silent !rm ~/__vimrc
enew
===
(For some reason, the netrw plugin is named netrwPlugin.vim on my
version of vim. Modify as is needed.)
Of course, this must be loaded in each vimrc on the network, and you
will need a web server to host the master vimrc.
I have also hacked about a bit, and now I also have some functions for
sourcing a file over a network, which I am attaching in
remotexecute.vim. If someone could look it over it would be
appreciated. It only handles reading over FTP and HTML at the moment.
I then went ahead and added the following to the tail of my vimrc:
===
netrw source the remote exec functions file - ugly!
new
Nread http://morph.telspace.co.za/remotexecute.vim;
let s:tempfilename = tempname()
execute(sav! . s:tempfilename)
execute(so . s:tempfilename)
execute(silent !rm . s:tempfilename)
quit!
Now that we have the functions for sourcing files over a net connection, we
can map keys to edit our vimrc over the net, and associated functions.
Read the _vimrc into a new buffer
nmap silent C-F1 :newCR:execute ReadNetFileFTP(, _vimrc,
)CR
Write the current buffer to the onlince _vimrc
nmap silent S-F1 :execute WriteNetFileFTP(, _vimrc, )CR
===
Unfortunately, there seems to be something wrong with the write (Nwrite)
action, whenever I try to write a file back to the server, I get the error:
===
(netrw) Processing your write request
***netrw*** VIR14E.tmp: File not found
Press cr to continue
===
or (with g:netrw_ftp = 1):
===
(netrw) Processing your write request
***netrw*** Invalid command.
Press cr to continue
===
How can I use netrw to write a file over ftp? I have tried various
different methods to do this, but none seem to work. Does anyone else
have the same problem?

Re: .vimrc from URL
I change my .vimrc very often, and I use vim in many computers. The result is that my changes are not always updated to all computers. Is it possible to ask vim to update its .vimrc from an URL, like an FTP address? The vimrc is sourced before the global plugins, in particular before the netrw plugin. So I think the short answer is no. What you could do (maybe) is setup a shell script (aka Batch file on Dos/Windows) to synchronize your vimrc from the master online version just before starting Vim. (...) I don't need vim to read .vimrc from URL at startup. I can just map a key, like F12, to try to download that file and update the one at my home dir. Then I can just press F12 and restart vim when I want a configuration update. However, writing an external script to do that for me can be easier, since I know nothing about vim scripting... Thanks, Maurício
