Describe the feature

I am trying to use oil - to edit files over ssh on a server.

The readme.md specifies this -

nvim oil-ssh://[username@]hostname[:port]/[path]

Searching through the issues I'm not sure what to make of it too -

for example - I added the package



require("lazy").setup({
    { 'stevearc/oil.nvim',  opts = {},     dependencies = { "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons" } }
   },
})

require("oil").setup()

nvim oil-ssh://[email protected]//home/user/file.txt

Is this all that is needed for it to work?

The loading.... pops up and then I see this window pops up - but nothing happens.

Am I missing some steps - once this floating window pops up am I required to do something?

Would appreciate any help/pointers!
