Dear Charles,
  a while ago (well, 3 years :-), a bug was reported against the debian
vim package about a problem in the netrw.vim plugin. I believe the bug
still exists.

Could you please have a look at it?

An excerpt of the original bug report fellows, bug submitter is Cc-ed,
and full information about the bug in the debian bug tracking system are
available here:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173996

Many thanks in advance.
Cheers.

> The netrw plugin uses cadaver to read and write files via WebDAV.
> However it tries to use cadaver using a [rs]cp like syntax, which it
> does not support.
