Please look at :help netrw-start ; it has directions on how to build
a .netrc file which your ftp can read and bypass the need to constantly
enter the userid+password. Of course,
if you're a Windows user, then
you'll need to check on whether your ftp client supports using that file
and where it reads it from (and perhaps even what oddball format it
uses, as Windows is well known for "doing it differently").
I f I understand, on xp, the netrw plugin does not link windows xp net
cmd with my $home/.netrc.
I have added the .netrc file as described in the help :
machine {ftp://[email protected]} login {mylogin} password
"{mypass}"
default login {mylogin} password "{mypass}"
If you're on a double-boot system, you must be aware of the fact that
files on a FAT (or, IIUC, NTFS) filesystem are typically seen as with
permissions 0777 i.e. -rwxrwxrwx (or maybe 0555 when the FAT "readonly"
attribute is set) when read by a Unix/Linux kernel. This is not
acceptable to the ftp program for a .netrc file containing at least one
password for a username other than "anonymous": such a netrc must have
read permissions off for everyone other than its owner, or the autologin
will abort.
I don't know if Windows ftp is aware of a $HOME/.netrc file, or under
which name it looks for it in which directory; and since the "man"
command is usually not implemented on Windows, I don't know how to find out.
Oh, and another thing: no scheme prefix to the hostname. Here's a
typical netrc file text:
machine ftp.example.net login epanda password qx3rv85f
machine ftp.example.com login epanda password a4s5vbx8
default login anonymous password [email protected]
Best regards,
Tony.
