I just installed Vim 7.3e BETA from the Cream site and I think I've
found a bug in netrw.
I start gvim by double-clicking the Vim icon on my desktop. Then I
execute
:e sftp://[email protected]/.vimrc
A command window pops up containing
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c sftp "[email protected]:.vimrc"
C:\DOCUME~1\USERNA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\VIA12.vimrc
Connecting to server.com...
[email protected]'s password:
When I enter my password, the following appears in that same command
window.
Fetching /xc/u/g/username/.vimrc to
C:DOCUME~1USERNA~1LOCALS~1TempVIA12.vimrc
Couldn't open local file "C:DOCUME~1USERNA~1LOCALS~1TempVIA12.vimrc"
for writing
: No such file or directory
shell returned 1
Hit any key to close this window...
Vim's buffer is empty.
In addition to that, I see two potential problems. One is that
there are no backslashes between directories in the error message.
Another is that netrw is apparently trying to put the temporary file
in a path containing the remote user's name rather than the local
user's name.
I am running this on a Windows XP machine. The "username" on the
remote system is different from my Windows user name. I also have
7.3f BETA which I compiled for Cygwin on the same machine and the
same :e command works fine on the Cygwin version. I am using the
versions of netrw that came with the Vim 7.3 installations.
Regards,
Gary
