Re: How can I get around this ftp error in gVim?

You don't need to put your password into the password string.

I open Vim and issue

:e ftp://username@site/path/to/file

and it prompts me for the password.

If you need to change the user and/or password within a session, you can

:call NetUserPass()

which will prompt for both.

:help ftp
:help netrw-password
