How to use GVIM to edit a remote file?

Question

I use GVIM on Ubuntu 9.10. I\'m looking for the right way to configure GVIM to be able to edit remote files (HTML, PHP, CSS) by for exemple ftp.

• When i use :e scp:

Answer 1

Try this

:e scp://username@remotehost//path/to/file

Note that the use of // is intentional after remotehost it gives the absolute path of your file :)
