vim - save password while editing remote files using scp

I'm trying to edit remote files using gvim in this manner:

$ gvim scp://username@server.edu//home/username/new.txt
But everytime I do a save, I have to enter password.
I looked up on the internet to see if there's a way by which vim
remembers remote
passwords.

So I found that creating a file called ~/.netrc does this for ftp
transfer (http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/
Editing_remote_files_via_scp_in_vim)

I've also changed the permission of the file to 600, but still I'm
being prompted for passwd.

Am I missing something?
