Thoughts on navigating remote files?
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Vim has this brilliant feature with netrw which let's you navigate a remote filesystem. For example, you can from within vim type the following: :e scp://user@hostmachine/.config/ and it will open that directory with netrw inside vim. What are your thoughts on implementing something similar.
I personally replaced netrw with lf for 90% of my usecases inside vim.
Based on responses like #698 (comment), I would say that this kind of feature is outside the scope of lf.
Instead of adding code into lf to handle different protocols, you can instead use something like sshfs to mount a remote filesystem, and browse it as you would normally do in lf.
I have finally gotten around to adding sshfs as an integration. Closing this issue now.
