Is it possible to browse a remote folder through FTP? Eg, if I enter ':e .'
it'll display the directory browser for the current directory. How can I do
the same for remote directories?
I can run ':e sftp://sage/nessus_conf/nessusd.conf' to edit a particular
file, but if I don't know the exact filename I'd like to be able to run
something like ':e sftp://sage/nessus_conf/' to get a directory listing.
Yes, netrw supports browsing remote folders using ftp. However, sftp
isn't ftp; fundamentally, its ssh.
Netrw also supports browsing using ssh. So, what happens when you try:
vim sftp://sage/nessus_conf/
Netrw will attempt to use ssh to do the browsing, and will use sftp to
do file transfer.
