i run a vim server $ vim --servername .
i use it to edit all my files on my local box with commands like: $ vim --servername . --remote foobar.rb good stuff really. i've started using it to edit files across the network like this: $ vim --servername . --remote scp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/foobar.rb really good stuff. now check this out: $ ssh -Y remotebox # .ssh/config inclues X11 forwarding (remotebox) $ vim --servername . remote scp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/foobar.rb woah, it works. my vim server on the localbox gets the file and i edit away UNLESS the path to foobar.rb does not exist on the local box which is odd because i'm not editing a file on the local box. if the dir structure is the same on both boxes it's cool. if not i get this error in vim: E344: Can't find directory "/path/to" in cdpath E472: Command failed because /path/to does not exist locally, just on the remote box. if i create that empty dir everything works fine. any ideas? _ugly
