netrw help (:h netrw) has this:

---
For browsing on a remote host, "edit" a directory (but make sure that
the directory name is followed by a "/"):

        vim scp://hostname/
        vim ftp://hostname/path/to/dir/

See |netrw-browse| for more!

I just did:

$vim scp://localhost/

As expected, that opened vim and listed the content of /

I also tried lauching vim and doing:

:e scp://localhost/

Again, it worked as expected.

As indicated in vim's netrw online help, do not forget to add these
two lines to your .vimrc:

set nocp                " 'compatible' is not set
filetype plugin on   " plugins are enable
