I'm trying to edit remote files using gvim in this manner:
$ gvim scp://[email protected]//home/username/new.txt
But everytime I do a save, I have to enter password.
I looked up on the internet to see if there's a way by which vim
remembers remote
passwords.
So I found that creating a file called ~/.netrc does this for ftp
transfer (http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/
Editing_remote_files_via_scp_in_vim)
I've also changed the permission of the file to 600, but still I'm
being prompted for passwd.
Am I missing something?
.netrc is for ftp; ssh/scp pays no attention to it.
In reading :help netrw-password , you'll find a reference to reading
:help netrw-ssh-hack . You may find it helpful.
