Hey all,
This is probably a newbie question, but I've done some searching
around and documentation reading and I just can't seem to get it
working.
The problem is that I've got a fresh install of cygwin, which includes
vim 7.2. I'm "pretty" sure that includes the appropriate version of
netrw module. But when I try:
vim scp://machine_name//path/to/file
Vim comes up with "~/scp:/machine_name:/path/to_file" [New DIRECTORY]"
in the bottom of the window.
It looks to me like the netrw module isn't being called in this case.
Thinking I may have messed something up in my .inputrc, .vimrc,
or .vim directry, I moved them all aside to "test.inputrc", etc.
Hello!
Please bring up vim and try
:scriptnames
Does netrw show on that list? Alternatively, type
:echo g:loaded_netrwPlugin
:echo g:loaded_netrw
If the first one gives an error message about an undefined variable,
then netrw's plugin/ script hasn't been loaded. If the second one gives
an error message, then netrw's autoload/ script hasn't been loaded yet.
The latter one isn't loaded until its asked for, though (via a command
that invokes it, such as :e .).
Do you have
filetype plugin on
in your .vimrc? This command enables plugins (and if you also want
indent scripts, then you might prefer filetype plugin indent on).

Chip Campbell
