You can access your remote file in Vim by typing:

vim ftp://user@machine/path/filename

in your command line.

Some things you might want to consider:

  • If you are using a Unix-like OS on your client machine, you'll probably find it easiest to simply mount your FTP site to a local directory, and then create and edit your files with whatever you like, for example Vim.

  • As one user suggested, if the host is Unix-like you can connect it via SSH and then edit files with Vim installed over there.
