The buffer with a temporary file is opened and changed, but not written to target leaving with "":wq"" . This is tested on my ubuntu box for ftp and fish. to get the effect do the following steps: if not already done prepare mc not to use built in editor. On an sshd running system establish a conection with: 1. cd #sh:localhost: 2. browse to an known file and open editor by pressing 3. do some edit 4. save an leave (use "":wq"" on vim) Editor is quitting without error. now the file should be changed refresh window by use to prove ==> file is not changed an no error was given. This behavior was also confirmed by other users on german ubuntu list.
