I was just typing out an email to the author of netrw regarding a problem I was experiencing.

Maybe someone here could help me out.

Environment:

- Lubuntu 12.10 64,

- LXterminal as well as UXTerm,

- GVim/Vim 7.3.547,

- both passive and active ftp,

- a local ftp server and http://secureftp-test.com/ to test it.

When I try to access a remote ftp directory, I can only open the directory that I typed in a path to. As soon as I navigate through the listed directories and hit enter on any, the screen splits into two horizontal panes and the top pane reads "File not found".

I tried this from Windows 7 Gvim/Vim (don't have the version handy but it was 7.3+) and it worked as expected.

From what I gather it just doesn't seem to look for the right directory after I hit enter in the list I think. Maybe it skips an extra forward slash somewhere or something?

I understand we're not really on the netrw/vim mailing list but any response would be appreciated!
