I haven't upgraded to Focal yet, but it's still an open issue upstream:

  In Ubuntu 16.04, with gvim 7.4.1689, I can open files over GVFS SSH
  mounts (by going to `ssh://wherever` in the address bar in the file
  browser and double-clicking on the file), edit them, and save them.

  In Ubuntu 18.04, when I install `vim-gtk` and try to do the same
  thing, I can open the files just fine, but when I try to save them I
  get a message that Vim "Can't open file for writing".

  If I check out the Vim source tree and build and install vim
  v7.4.1689, which is what Xenial is shipping now, and use *that* gvim
  on Ubuntu 18.04, I can save over SSH mounts. I can also save fine from
  gedit.

  Something is wrong with the gvim shipping with 18.04.
