Hello all!
Perhaps someone of you got some tipp for me. I'm trying to use the
netrw.vim file under MS Windows and i have problems with storing my
edited files. Like unter Linux, i can browse the FTP server and load a
file for editing. But when trying to store it back to the server netrw
just gives me an error message about a "file not found" and the
filename looks like some temporary file. I've checked the netrw
documentation but i didn't find anything helpfull for this problem.
Does anyone of you have some hint for me what's wrong here?
Thank you very much!
Greetings,

IIUC, netrw needs external programs for its remote I/O. These programs
vary from OS to OS. If the default settings are not OK, you may have to
configure them according to what software is installed on your machine.
Also, it is often possible to download files from FTP servers using http
or anonymous FTP, but in my experience, upload requires authenticated
FTP (with non-anonymous username and specific password). Check the docs
(:help pi_netrw.txt) about how to set those.
Personally I use netrw mostly for local directory browsing. For file
download and upload (which I perform as separate steps, independently
from Vim) I use other software: I recommend FileZilla (GUI) or ftp
(command-line) on Windows, Konqueror (GUI) or ftp (command-line) on
Linux. FileZilla can be downloaded for free (Google for the URL); the
others should be installed together with the OS. All these programs can
do multiple-file transfers (the GUI ones by drag-and-drop between panes
or tabs, ftp by means of the mget and mput commands with wildcards) and
of course directory listings. For "intelligent" repetitive upgrading
over FTP I've also heard the "rsync" program being praised (where
available).
Best regards,
Tony.
