I just tried a couple of experiments, editing an existing remote
file using scp.
$ vim scp://hostname/hello.txt
:swapname
No swap file
Netrw is v162h.
$ vim -N -u NORC scp://hostname/hello.txt
:swapname
No swap file
:verbose set swapfile?
noswapfile
Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim80/autoload/netrw.vim
Netrw is v156.
There are several places in autoload/netrw.vim where :nowapfile
appears. I didn't try to find out which was being executed or why.
Regards,
Gary
