I'm trying to use my MobaXTerm vim to access a remote file using netrw as follows:
vim scp://my_username@my_server//path/file.txt
I have password-less login set up (through .ssh / rsa_id, etc.).
This works fine from my OS X machine running vim 7.3, but not from MobaXTerm vim (also 7.3).
Does MobaXTerm's vim support netrw?
A couple of things to consider:
g:netrw_scp_cmd?
g:netrw_scp_cmd isn't set. Tried the full scp path (/bin/scp) but it simply tried to open a new file on my local system (as it did with scp alone)
