Here's my proposed new entry which would go under :help netrw-problems :

P13. I'm a Windows + putty + ssh user, and when I attempt to browse,
the directories are missing trailing "/"s so netrw treats them
as file transfers instead of as attempts to browse
subdirectories. How may I fix this?

(mikeyao) If you want to use vim via ssh and putty under Windows,
try combining the use of pscp/psftp with plink. pscp/psftp will
be used to connect and plink will be used to execute commands on
the server, for example: list files and directory using 'ls'.

These are the settings I use to do this:

" list files, it's the key setting, if you haven't set,
" you will get a blank buffer
let g:netrw_list_cmd = "plink HOSTNAME ls -Fa"
" if you haven't add putty directory in system path, you should
" specify scp/sftp command. For examples:
"let g:netrw_sftp_cmd = "d:\\dev\\putty\\PSFTP.exe"
"let g:netrw_scp_cmd = "d:\\dev\\putty\\PSCP.exe"

Obviously I haven't tried the "plink HOSTNAME ls -Fa" but I suspect that
it will work. Please try it and let me know.

Thank you,
Chip Campbell
