This might have been discussed before, but how can I open a file
remotely in vim?
Via, ftp, ssh, etc.

 

vim ftp://host/path/to/file
vim scp://host/path/to/file

Both of these use the netrw plugin, BTW.  Both may ask you for 
passwords, although
one can work around that requirement (see :help netrw-listhack   and  
:help netrw-password).
