:Nread errors
I am having some trouble with Netrw in Vim 7. I had been using it to ftp to a web server and update files. I recently began receiving the following error(s) when running :Nread ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public_html/ ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public_html/ [not edited] --no lines in buffer-- If I try to edit the a file directly rather than attempting to navigate a directory, I get the following errors: ***netrw*** ?Invalid command. ***netrw*** file /tmp/v325706/11.html not readable I have Netrw v98 and have tried upgrading my version. I downloaded netrw.vba.gz script version 104, and after removing all instances of 'anything' netrw*, I sourced the vimball. Unfortunately after installation I still show v98 and am still unable to :Nread ftp://... Any suggestions on what to check or how to proceed would be greatly appreciated as I love this tool and really miss the convenience Netrw provides. Thanks, Kevin
Re: :Nread errors
My OS is Mac OS X 10.4.8, so yes, it is Unix/Linux based. After I sent my original e-mail, I did think to check where $VIMRUNTIME was located. I removed all instances of anything vim* related. I then attempted the :Nread command and got what I expected... E492: Not an editor command: Nread... I then :so % the vimball and checked the runtime location for any netrw files. None were there. Is there a way to make direct the installation where to install? Is there a way to see where the source is installing? or a manual installation?

Are you using Windows, Linux, or what? The /tmp/... file looks like a linux location, so I'll use that guess. Try cd /usr/local/share/vim/vim70 ls */netrw* and see if any files show up. If your vim 7.0 installation isn't there... vim :echo $VIMRUNTIME should show where its hiding (this should work under Windows, too). Please remove any and all netrw files from that location.

There's the same sort of issue with vimball as netrw; you'll need to remove all vestiges of the vim 7.0 vimball before installing the new one. However, vimball comes as a gzipped tarball so as to avoid requiring vimball to install vimball. You can get the latest version from my website (http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/index.html#VimBall). You may install vimball in your distribution directories or in your $HOME/.vim/ directories. Then vim netrw.vba.gz :so % :q should install netrw in your $HOME/.vim/ directories. After performing the steps above, you can cd $HOME/.vim ls */netrw*.* and you should see a number of netrw plugin components. vim . should open netrw and show v107l (if you've gotten the latest netrw from my website).
