| 56 | The functionality mentioned here is done via using |standard-plugin| |
| 57 | techniques. This plugin is only available if |
| 58 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 69a7cb4 | 2004-06-20 12:51:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 59 | set nocp " 'compatible' is not set |

| 62 | You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_netrw" variable |
| 63 | in your <.vimrc> file: > |
| 64 | |
| 65 | :let loaded_netrw = 1 |
| 66 | |
| 67 | {Vi does not have any of this} |

| 77 | |
| 78 | let g:netrw_ignorenetrc= 1 |
| 79 | If you have a <.netrc> file but it doesn't work and you |
| 80 | want it ignored, then set this variable as shown. Its mere |
| 81 | existence is enough to cause <.netrc> to be ignored. |

| 129 | These will be saved in g:netrw_uid and g:netrw_passwd Subsequent uses |

| 131 | and/or password, you'll want to call NetUserPass() first. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | :NetUserPass [uid [password]] -- prompts as needed |
| 134 | :call NetUserPass() -- prompts for uid and password |
| 135 | :call NetUserPass("uid") -- prompts for password |
| 136 | :call NetUserPass("uid","password") -- sets global uid and password |

| 167 | |
| 168 | Paths to files are generally user-directory relative for most protocols. |
| 169 | It is possible that some protocol will make paths relative to some |
| 170 | associated directory, however. |
| 171 | |
| 172 | example: vim scp://user@host/somefile |
| 173 | example: vim scp://user@host/subdir1/subdir2/somefile |
Bram Moolenaar | f6cf987 | 2005-08-08 22:00:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 174 | |
Bram Moolenaar | d4755bb | 2004-09-02 19:12:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 175 | where "somefile" is the "user"'s home directory. If you wish to get a |
| 176 | file using root-relative paths, use the full path: |
| 177 | |
| 178 | example: vim scp://user@host//somefile |
| 179 | example: vim scp://user@host//subdir1/subdir2/somefile |
| 180 | |

| 182 | ============================================================================== |
| 183 | 2. Network-Oriented File Transfer *netrw-xfer* |
| 184 | |
| 185 | Network-oriented file transfer under Vim is implemented by a VimL-based script |
| 186 | (<netrw.vim>) using plugin techniques. It currently supports both reading |
| 187 | and writing across networks using rcp, scp, ftp or ftp+<.netrc>, scp, fetch, |
| 188 | dav/cadaver, rsync, or sftp. |
| 189 | |
| 190 | http is currently supported read-only via use of wget or fetch. |
| 191 | |
| 192 | <netrw.vim> is a standard plugin which acts as glue between Vim and the |
| 193 | various file transfer programs. It uses autocommand events (BufReadCmd, |
| 194 | FileReadCmd, BufWriteCmd) to intercept reads/writes with url-like filenames. > |
| 195 | |
| 196 | ex. vim ftp://hostname/path/to/file |
| 197 | < |
| 198 | The characters preceding the colon specify the protocol to use; |
| 199 | in the example, its ftp. The <netrw.vim> script then formulates |
| 200 | a command or a series of commands (typically ftp) which it issues |
| 201 | to an external program (ftp, scp, etc) which does the actual file |
| 202 | transfer/protocol. Files are read from/written to a temporary file |
| 203 | (under Unix/Linux, /tmp/...) which the <netrw.vim> script will |
| 204 | clean up. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | One may modify any protocol's implementing external application |
Bram Moolenaar | c0197e2 | 2004-09-13 20:26:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 207 | by setting a variable (ex. scp uses the variable g:netrw_scp_cmd, |
Bram Moolenaar | 071d427 | 2004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 208 | which is defaulted to "scp -q"). |
| 209 | |
| 210 | Ftp, an old protocol, seems to be blessed by numerous implementations. |
Bram Moolenaar | 83bab71 | 2005-08-01 21:58:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 211 | Unfortunately, some implementations are noisy (ie., add junk to the end |
Bram Moolenaar | 071d427 | 2004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 212 | of the file). Thus, concerned users may decide to write a NetReadFixup() |
| 213 | function that will clean up after reading with their ftp. Some Unix systems |
Bram Moolenaar | 83bab71 | 2005-08-01 21:58:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 214 | (ie., FreeBSD) provide a utility called "fetch" which uses the ftp protocol |
Bram Moolenaar | 071d427 | 2004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 215 | but is not noisy and more convenient, actually, for <netrw.vim> to use. |
| 216 | Consequently, if "fetch" is executable, it will be used to do reads for |
| 217 | ftp://... (and http://...) . See |netrw-var| for more about this. |
| 218 | |
| 219 | For rcp, scp, sftp, and http, one may use network-oriented file transfers |
Bram Moolenaar | 83bab71 | 2005-08-01 21:58:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 220 | transparently; ie. |
Bram Moolenaar | 071d427 | 2004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 221 | > |
| 222 | vim rcp://[user@]machine/path |
| 223 | vim scp://[user@]machine/path |
| 224 | < |
| 225 | If your ftp supports <.netrc>, then it too can be just as transparently used |
| 226 | if the needed triad of machine name, user id, and password are present in |
| 227 | that file. Your ftp must be able to use the <.netrc> file on its own, however. |
| 228 | > |
| 229 | vim ftp://[user@]machine[[:#]portnumber]/path |
| 230 | < |
| 231 | However, ftp will often need to query the user for the userid and password. |
Bram Moolenaar | 83bab71 | 2005-08-01 21:58:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 232 | The latter will be done "silently"; ie. asterisks will show up instead of |
Bram Moolenaar | 071d427 | 2004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 233 | the actually-typed-in password. Netrw will retain the userid and password |
| 234 | for subsequent read/writes from the most recent transfer so subsequent |
| 235 | transfers (read/write) to or from that machine will take place without |
| 236 | additional prompting. |

| 283 | |
| 284 | (*1) For an absolute path use scp://machine//path. |
| 285 | |
| 286 | (*2) if <.netrc> is present, it is assumed that it will |
| 287 | work with your ftp client. Otherwise the script will |
Bram Moolenaar | 69a7cb4 | 2004-06-20 12:51:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 288 | prompt for user-id and pasword. |
Bram Moolenaar | 071d427 | 2004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 289 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 69a7cb4 | 2004-06-20 12:51:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 290 | (*3) for ftp, "machine" may be machine#port or machine:port |
Bram Moolenaar | 071d427 | 2004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 291 | if a different port is needed than the standard ftp port |
| 292 | |
| 293 | (*4) for http:..., if wget is available it will be used. Otherwise, |
| 294 | if fetch is available it will be used. |
| 295 | |
| 296 | Both the :Nread and the :Nwrite ex-commands can accept multiple filenames. |
| 297 | |
| 298 | |
| 299 | NETRC *netrw-netrc* |
| 300 | |
| 301 | The typical syntax for lines in a <.netrc> file is given as shown below. |
| 302 | Ftp under Unix usually support <.netrc>; Windows' ftp usually doesn't. |
| 303 | > |
| 304 | machine {full machine name} login {user-id} password "{password}" |
| 305 | default login {user-id} password "{password}" |
| 306 | |
| 307 | Your ftp client must handle the use of <.netrc> on its own, but if the |
| 308 | <.netrc> file exists, an ftp transfer will not ask for the user-id or |
| 309 | password. |
| 310 | |
| 311 | Note: |
| 312 | Since this file contains passwords, make very sure nobody else can |
| 313 | read this file! Most programs will refuse to use a .netrc that is |
| 314 | readable for others. Don't forget that the system administrator can |
| 315 | still read the file! |
| 316 | |
| 317 | |
| 318 | PASSWORD *netrw-passwd* |
| 319 | |
| 320 | The script attempts to get passwords for ftp invisibly using |inputsecret()|, |
| 321 | a built-in Vim function. See |netrw-uidpass| for how to change the password |
| 322 | after one has set it. |
| 323 | |
| 324 | Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way for netrw to feed a password |
| 325 | to scp. Thus every transfer via scp will require re-entry of the password. |
| 326 | |
| 327 | |
| 328 | ============================================================================== |
| 329 | 3. Activation *netrw-activate* |
| 330 | |
| 331 | Network-oriented file transfers are available by default whenever |
| 332 | |'nocompatible'| mode is enabled. The <netrw.vim> file resides in your |
| 333 | system's vim-plugin directory and is sourced automatically whenever you |
| 334 | bring up vim. |
| 335 | |
| 336 | |
| 337 | ============================================================================== |
| 338 | 4. Transparent File Transfer *netrw-transparent* |
| 339 | |
| 340 | Transparent file transfers occur whenever a regular file read or write |
| 341 | (invoked via an |:autocmd| for |BufReadCmd| or |BufWriteCmd| events) is made. |
| 342 | Thus one may use files across networks as if they were local. > |
| 343 | |
| 344 | vim ftp://[user@]machine/path |
| 345 | ... |
| 346 | :wq |
| 347 | |
| 348 | |
| 349 | ============================================================================== |
| 350 | 5. Ex Commands *netrw-ex* |
| 351 | |
| 352 | The usual read/write commands are supported. There are also a couple of |
| 353 | additional commands available. |
| 354 | |
| 355 | :[range]Nw Write the specified lines to the current |
| 356 | file as specified in b:netrw_lastfile. |
| 357 | |
| 358 | :[range]Nw {netfile} [{netfile}]... |
| 359 | Write the specified lines to the {netfile}. |
| 360 | |
| 361 | :Nread |
| 362 | Read the specified lines into the current |
| 363 | buffer from the file specified in |
| 364 | b:netrw_lastfile. |
| 365 | |
| 366 | :Nread {netfile} {netfile}... |
| 367 | Read the {netfile} after the current line. |
| 368 | |
| 369 | *netrw-uidpass* |
| 370 | :call NetUserPass() |
| 371 | If b:netrw_uid and b:netrw_passwd don't exist, |
| 372 | this function query the user for them. |
| 373 | |
| 374 | :call NetUserPass("userid") |
| 375 | This call will set the b:netrw_uid and, if |
| 376 | the password doesn't exist, will query the user for it. |
| 377 | |
| 378 | :call NetUserPass("userid","passwd") |
| 379 | This call will set both the b:netrw_uid and b:netrw_passwd. |
| 380 | The user-id and password are used by ftp transfers. One may |
| 381 | effectively remove the user-id and password by using "" |
| 382 | strings. |
| 383 | |
| 384 | |

| 471 | In order to best understand how to use these options if ftp is giving you |
| 472 | troubles, a bit of discussion follows on how netrw does ftp reads. |
| 473 | |
| 474 | The g:netrw_..._cmd variables specify the external program to use handle |
| 475 | the associated protocol (rcp, ftp, etc), plus any options. |
| 476 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 69a7cb4 | 2004-06-20 12:51:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 477 | The g:netrw_list_cmd's HOSTNAME entry will be changed via substitution with |
| 478 | whatever the current request is for a hostname. |
| 479 | |
| 480 | For ftp, netrw typically builds up lines of one of the following formats in a |

| 493 | Netrw then executes the lines above by use of a filter: |
| 494 | > |
| 495 | :%! {g:netrw_ftp_cmd} -i [-n] |
| 496 | < |
| 497 | |
| 498 | where |
| 499 | g:netrw_ftp_cmd is usually "ftp", |
| 500 | -i tells ftp not to be interactive |
| 501 | -n means don't use netrc and is used for Method #3 (ftp w/o <.netrc>) |
| 502 | |
| 503 | If <.netrc> exists it will be used to avoid having to query the user for |
Bram Moolenaar | 69a7cb4 | 2004-06-20 12:51:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 504 | userid and password. The transferred file is put into a temporary file. |
Bram Moolenaar | 071d427 | 2004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 505 | The temporary file is then read into the main editing session window that |
| 506 | requested it and the temporary file deleted. |
| 507 | |
| 508 | If your ftp doesn't accept the "user" command and immediately just demands |
| 509 | a userid, then try putting "let netrw_ftp=1" in your <.vimrc>. |

| 512 | To handle the SSL certificate dialog for untrusted servers, one may pull |
| 513 | down the certificate and place it into /usr/ssl/cert.pem. This operation |
| 514 | renders the server treatment as "trusted". |

Bram Moolenaar | d4755bb | 2004-09-02 19:12:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 724 | Netrw supports the browsing of directories on the local system and on remote |
| 725 | hosts, including generating listing directories, entering directories, editing |
| 726 | files therein, deleting files/directories, making new directories, and moving |
| 727 | (renaming) files and directories. The Netrw browser generally implements the |
| 728 | previous explorer maps and commands for remote directories, although details |
| 729 | (such as pertinent global variable names) necessarily differ. |
| 730 | |
| 731 | The Netrw remote file and directory browser handles two protocols: ssh and |
| 732 | ftp. The protocol in the url, if it is ftp, will cause netrw to use ftp |
| 733 | in its remote browsing. Any other protocol will be used for file transfers, |
| 734 | but otherwise the ssh protocol will be used to do remote directory browsing. |

Bram Moolenaar | 843ee41 | 2004-06-30 16:16:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 736 | To enter the netrw directory browser, simply attempt to read a "file" with a |
| 737 | trailing slash and it will be interpreted as a request to list a directory: |

| 776 | netrw will attempt to find a (sub)directory which matches the filename |
| 777 | pattern. Internally, it produces a list of files which match the pattern |
| 778 | and their paths; to that extent it resembles the Unix operation: |
| 779 | > |
| 780 | find $(pwd) -name "$1" -exec "echo" "{}" ";" 2> /dev/null |
| 781 | < |
| 782 | The directory display is updated to show the subdirectory containing a |
| 783 | matching file. One may then proceed to the next (or previous) matching files' |
| 784 | directories by using Nexplore or Pexplore, respectively. If your console or |
| 785 | gui produces recognizable shift-up or shift-down sequences, then you'll likely |
| 786 | find the following mappings convenient: |

| 1072 | |
| 1073 | (This section is likely to grow as I get feedback) |
| 1074 | (also see |netrw-debug|) |
| 1075 | |
| 1076 | P1. I use windows 95, and my ftp dumps four blank lines at the |
| 1077 | end of every read. |
| 1078 | |
| 1079 | See |netrw-fixup|, and put the following into your |
| 1080 | <.vimrc> file: |
| 1081 | |
| 1082 | let g:netrw_win95ftp= 1 |
Bram Moolenaar | f6cf987 | 2005-08-08 22:00:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 1083 | |
| 1084 | |
Bram Moolenaar | c0197e2 | 2004-09-13 20:26:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1085 | |
| 1086 | P2. I use windows, and my network browsing with ftp doesn't sort by |
| 1087 | time or size |
| 1088 | |
| 1089 | Windows' ftp has a minimal support for ls (ie. it doesn't |
| 1090 | accept sorting options). It doesn't support the -F which |
| 1091 | gives an explanatory character (ABC/ for "ABC is a directory"). |
| 1092 | Netrw uses dir to get its short and long listings. If you |
| 1093 | think your ftp does support a full-up ls, put the following |
| 1094 | into your <.vimrc>: |
| 1095 | |
| 1096 | let g:netrw_ftp_list_cmd= "ls -lF" |
| 1097 | |
| 1098 | Alternatively, if you have cygwin on your Windows box, put |
| 1099 | into your <.vimrc>: |
| 1100 | |
| 1101 | let g:netrw_cygwin= 1 |
| 1102 | |
| 1103 | P3. I tried rcp://user@host/ (or protocol other than ftp) and netrw |
| 1104 | used ssh! That wasn't what I asked for... |
| 1105 | |
| 1106 | Netrw has two methods for browsing remote directories: ssh |
| 1107 | and ftp. Unless you specify ftp specifically, ssh is used. |
| 1108 | When it comes time to do download a file (not just a directory |
| 1109 | listing), netrw will use the given protocol to do so. |
| 1110 | |
| 1111 | P4. I would like long listings to be the default. |
| 1112 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 3fdfa4a | 2004-10-07 21:02:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1113 | let g:netrw_longlist=1 |
| 1114 | |
| 1115 | Check out |netrw-browse-var| for more customizations that |
| 1116 | you can set. |
Bram Moolenaar | c0197e2 | 2004-09-13 20:26:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1117 | |
| 1118 | P5. My times come up oddly in local browsing |
| 1119 | |
| 1120 | Does your system's strftime() accept the "%c" to yield dates |
| 1121 | such as "Sun Apr 27 11:49:23 1997"? If not, do a "man strftime" |
| 1122 | and find out what option should be used. Then put it into |
| 1123 | your <.vimrc>: |
| 1124 | let g:netrw_timefmt= "%X" (where X is the option) |
| 1125 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 3fdfa4a | 2004-10-07 21:02:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1126 | P6. I want my current directory to track my browsing. |
| 1127 | How do I do that? |
