Hello, all. I've combed the list for references to this problem and
found nothing, but please forgive a short-sighted newbie if I've
overlooked something pertinent.
I'm using Vim 7 in three different places:
Mandrake Linux 9.2 (built from aap, with all patches applied)
Windows XP SP2 (from the self-installing executable)
Ubuntu Linux 6.06 (built from source tarball; no patches)
When editing files via FTP under Mandrake and Windows, I'm getting
some strage behavior that I didn't see in the 6.x series. As soon as I
connect, I get this error:
***netrw*** This security scheme is not implemented
However, the file loads normally once I hit Enter. I can edit the
file; yet I get the same error when I try to save. Under Mandrake, the
file actually _does_ save despite the error (though Vim behaves as if
it hasn't saved; I get the "No write since last change" warning, but
when I look at the file via other means I see that my changes are
there). Under Windows, the file doesn't save at all.
The Vim 7 build in Ubuntu behaves normally when editing via FTP,
without errors of any kind. So at least I know it _can_ be done. :)
Any ideas where my troubles are coming from? Incidentally, I have
version 100 (the latest--?) of netrw installed. Any and all guidance
will be very much appreciated; thanks in advance.
Are you by any chance running (on some machines but not others) behind a
firewall which prevents FTP writes? Or are you trying it over a
connection where you don't have write permission on the remote files
you're trying to save?
You might also look at the netrw code:
:view $VIMRUNTIME/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
:view $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/netrw.vim
to try and see what may cause the message you mention to appear on your
system.
If nothing else avails, try downloading the latest version of the netrw
software from http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1075
Best regards,
Tony.
