copied!<p>The directory view you're referring to is called <code>netrw</code>. You could read up on its entire documentation with <code>:help netrw</code>, but what you're looking for in this case is accessible by <code>:help netrw-delete</code>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The g:netrw_rmdir_cmd variable is used to support the removal of directories. Its default value is:</p> <p>g:netrw_rmdir_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rmdir</p> <p>If removing a directory fails with g:netrw_rmdir_cmd, netrw then will attempt to remove it again using the g:netrw_rmf_cmd variable. Its default value is:</p> <p>g:netrw_rmf_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rm -f</p> </blockquote> <p>So, you could override the variable that contains the command to remove a directory like so:</p> <pre><code>let g:netrw_rmf_cmd = 'ssh HOSTNAME rm -rf' </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: Like sehe pointed out, this is fairly risky. If you need additional confirmation in case the directory is not empty, you could write a shell script that does the prompting. A quick google turned up this SO question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5542016/bash-user-input-if">bash user input if</a>.</p> <p>So, you could write a script that goes like this:</p> <pre><code>#! /bin/bash hostname = $1 dirname = $2 # ... # prompt the user, save the result # ... if $yes then ssh $hostname rm -rf $dirname fi </code></pre> <p>Then, set the command to execute your script</p> <pre><code>let g:netrw_rmf_cmd = 'safe-delete HOSTNAME' </code></pre> <p>A lot of careful testing is recommended, of course :).</p>
