Any documentation on the usage?

Hi @lambdalisue ,

I just encountered this plugin while browsing vim plugins. This looks like an interesting idea. However, there is no documentation regarding the same.

Can you please tell the steps required to use the same?

Thanks in advance 😄

It's WIP so may not work but open fern with :Fern ssh://{user}@{host}:{port}/{path} works. Note that you cannot use password authentication for that (while fern does not have interface to get password from user for now)

@lambdalisue , but using an ssh-key should work, right?

[lambdalisue]

Yes. At least when I made this.

Why the URL is ssh:// not scp://?

Thanks!

By vi scp://[email protected]:8022//sdcard/Download/ or :e scp://[email protected]:8022//sdcard/Download/, I can use netrw to open a folder.

However, Fern ssh://[email protected]:8022/sdcard/Download only open an empty buffer. Is it a bug?

Thanks!

Because scp is for copy.

Not suer. This one is kind POC thus it may not work.

I think it would be really nice if you could continue working on this project and make it work reliably.

When I built it, I thought I may need this after I moved to Apple Silicon. Now, I'm happy on local environment without any pain on Apple Sillicon. That's why I don't have enough motivation to develop this sorry.
