Hi, why would you use vi and not vim? Vim is better! : P if you can access the machine over ssh you can edit a file on the remote host using this special path when opening it:

vim scp://username@host//path/to/file/on/remote/host/filename.extension

or if you've already opened vim you can edit it by typing

:edit scp://username@host//path/to/file/on/remote/host/filename.extension

remember to write the file in order to save it, you do it by typing

:w

or

:w filename

Cheers

Hello All,

I'm trying to use vi commands instead of using the mouse.

I open Gnome-Terminal

I open a file : vi /home/jvermeulen/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

I select the key with " V " ( visual line )

I type " y " to yank the selected line.

I can now use :e otherfile.txt and paste the text in otherfile.txt

This is the only way I succeed in copying text to another file in Gnome-Terminal of xterm.

But how can I copy text to a file on a remote machine?

Many thanks.

Hello Suomi en Lorenzo,

thanks for the help.

The syntax

:editscp://username@host//path/to/file/on/remote/host/filename.extension

is what I needed.

Greetings, J.
