Hi,

Is there any plans on supporting the "ODB Suite"/External Editor Protocol ( http://www.barebones.com/support/develop/ odbsuite.shtml ) in vim for mac?
I couldn't find any information about it on neither the vim for mac page nor vim.org.

No, there are no plans for this as far as I know.

As i understand it some ftp applications (like interarchy) would need vim to support it in order to use vim as an external editor.

vim can edit documents on ftp servers. Just type
:e ftp://yourhost.com/yourfile.html
, edit your document and save your changes with
:w
. Perhaps this helps you as well?

Bye,

Remote Editing through vim works to some extent, but i find it more efficient to use a good ftpclient for browsing the ftp/sftp/webdav- servers and handeling passwords.

I'm not using interarchy as my main client but i was investigating using it, it has a few interesting features. However since vim- editing is my main concern when browsing ftp-servers i guess I will hold on to transmit (which do not only relay on the ODB Suite-thing for external editing.)

Anyway, thanks!
