The FtpUpdate script provides you the ability to synchronize your files with a server. The main idea when I created this script was to use GVim to edit the files on my local PC, which one has SVN or GIT, rather than directly on the remote server in a shared directory (similar to the staging concept in GIT). With S-F7, you can define the server and the remote path used. The settings can be set for the buffer only or globally if you have many files to synchronize from/to the same directory. You can set both, and then buffer settings will preempt global settings. Key mapping:   - <S-F5> and <S-F6>: allow you to update your file respectively from and to the server. Asks for the synchronization parameters if needed.   - <S-F7>: set the synchronization parameters.   - <S-F8>: display the synchronization parameters of the current buffer. Public functions:   - FtpGetParam(): display the synchronization parameters of the current buffer.   - FtpSetParam(...): set the synchronization parameters   - FtpSetServer(...): set the server parameter   - FtpSetPath(...): set the path parameter   - FtpUpdate(): put the buffer to the remote server   - FtpRefresh(): get the file from the remote server Note that you can set both global parameters and buffer parameters for a specific buffer which needs different parameters. The buffer settings are taken into account before the global ones. Further more, through the FtpSetPath or FtpSetServer functions, you can set only a specific path or server for a buffer, the second parameter (path or server) being taken from the global variable. Example: With <S-F7> you set global parameters srv1 and path /home/user1. Then for a specific buffer you type :call FtpSetPath() and set /home/dummy2 as buffer path (or type :call FtpSetPath("/home/user2","b")). Then using <S-F5> or <S-F6> on this buffer will use ftp://srv1/home/user2 and ftp://srv1/home/user1 for the other ones. The protocol used is FTP. Writing and reading are performed through netrw.vim plugin, i.e. as typing     :write <proto>://<server>/<path>/<file>     or     :read <proto>://<server>/<path>/<file> Note that <proto> is set in g:FtpSync_Proto (scp by default).
