[Bug 46209] Re: Nautilus Passes Relative Path to vim for Remote Files

[Richard Gabriel]

I tested this and I think that in your syntax above, "path" refers to
the absolute path with leading slashes.  When I substitute an absolute
path including the leading slash for the word "path" in your above
command line example, it works correctly and opens the remote file.

Working command line example:
gvim -f sftp://SERVER//home/USER/FILE.txt

In this case, "path" is "/home/USER/FILE.txt".  That being said, does
this still indicate a vim bug?
