If no solution exists, I'm willing to work on one.

My problem is as follows:

Environment:
- Lubuntu 12.10 (64), also Lubuntu 12.04 (64), Ubuntu 12.04 (64),
Linux Mint 13 (64).
- LXterminal, UXTerm and gnome-terminal
- GVim/Vim 7.3.547, 7.3.429
- both passive and active ftp
- a local ftp server using filezilla and http://secureftp-test.com/ to
test it.

When I try to access a remote ftp directory, I can only open the
directory that I typed in a path to. As soon as I navigate through the
listed directories and hit enter on any, the screen splits into two
horizontal panes and the top pane reads "File not found".
[...]

Try hitting Ctrl-L in the bottom pane after that message appears. Vim should then retry the directory read and might succeed.

Also, if you have set 'autochdir', try toggling it off.

Make sure there is a slash at the end of directory names in the first directory listing. If there isn't, that's why Vim cannot read the subdirectories. You might then try

        :e ^R%/

(where ^R means "hit Ctrl-R") after the command fails, to append a / to the directory name.


Best regards,
Tony.
