    text
    copied!<p>Ok guys, maybe this one has been asked before, but I searched and ran threw nothing, so i'm taking a chance here.</p> <p>I'm using the latest vim (gvim 7.3), on Windows 7 64bits.</p> <p>I've got some remote files that I want to edit directly with vim, using netrw.</p> <p>Right now, I've got a fully working transparent ssh connexion to my remote hosts, thanks to Putty, Pageant and public/private keys.</p> <p>I've successfully setup a read/write access to distant files with those fixes:</p> <pre><code>#### .vimrc #### let g:netrw_cygwin= 0 let g:netrw_scp_cmd = 'c:\"Program Files (x86)"\PuTTY\pscp.exe -q -batch' let g:netrw_sftp_cmd= '"c:\"Program Files (x86)"\PuTTY\psftp.exe' </code></pre> <p>Then I can access a file with :</p> <pre><code>:e scp:\\user@host:port\\home\me\some-file.txt </code></pre> <p>And, each time I access remote file, Vim run a windows prompt (cmd.exe) :</p> <pre><code>C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\"Program Files (x86)"\PuTTY\pscp.exe -q -batch -P 22 "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\VIF215E.tmp" "user@host:/home/me/some-file.txt" Hit any key to close this window... </code></pre> <p>My problem is that hitting a key outside Vim each time I want to open/write a file isn't efficient at all.</p> <p>So my question(s) is(are) : </p> <ul> <li>Am I doing it the right way ? </li> <li>Is there another way of transparently accessing a remote file with ssh on Windows ? </li> <li>If no, is there a way to get rid of "Hit any key to close this window..." when Vim launches putty's pscp.exe ?</li> </ul> <p>Thanks a lot and happy vimming.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Note to the <em>myself</em> in the past: <em>Dude, just go with linux and vanilla gvim/ssh. You'll thank me later (and take a look at spf13-vim)</em></p>
