{vim} preview in FTP listing



Hallo,

I have problem with opening preview window for selected file in Ftp
listing in vim (7.0)

I use netrw plugin:

:Nread ftp://ftpsite.com/

Then in listing I use "p" key on selected file, and following error
shows:

E21: Cannot make changes, 'modifiable' is off

According to <H1>:help, "p" key should run file preview in splitted
window (in local filestystem there are no problems).

If it is not posible - how can i back to ftp listing after editing
selected file?

What I wanted to achieve is to have ftp listing in one window and
selected files to edit in another, without closing or opening
additional windows. (something like explorer view). But when I hit
enter on selected file then listing window reloads with this file
buffer and there is no easy way to back again to this listing. Of
course I can hit "v" to open selected file in vertically splitted
window, but any time I want to edit another file I must close that
window and open another one with new file and my window sizes resets.

Sorry for my bad english

.
