    Like as in macromedia dreamweaver there is a function for direct uploading your edited files to an ftp server.
    I think for web coders this is a nessecairy function. It saves time and is not that hard to build.

    Maybe an idea for the next update?

      Hi there,

      I made a small and very simple plugin to quickly upload and download files from a single FTP server. The zip archive with the DLL and a simple readme can be found here:

      (not exactly SourceForge but it does the job)
      Tell me what you think about it

      I would really really like to see FTP-support in N++! It is truely the reason why I didn't gave N++ a chance yet. Now I use the very old (sept 22, 2004) Crimson Editor that DOES have a FTP-feature!

      Please make it happen! :)

      Also agree this would be very nice! Not just FTP, though, but just a general "Publish" or file transfer tool. So it can do not just FTP but also "upload" files across a network share. Most of the development I do where I am I'm not uploading via FTP, but just copying across a network share from a test server to the live server.
      Perhaps somehow integrate the other opensource project FileZilla somehow?

      I use notpad++ and filezilla and on filezilla i defined my text editor as notepad++, all i have to do is to open the file from ftp edit it on notepad++ and when i save it filezilla ask me for to update the modified file, so i think maybe notpad++ can have a way to define an FTP client for to upload and download files, not necesary to build a new FTP clien

      The problem with the filezilla approach is that the file change detection does not happen until you exit the editor, so you can't just save the file.

      And of course not just ftp, but also sftp.

      Agree. It's very important function for me. I don't use Notepad++ as default editor, because I can't edit file directly on ftp. It's necessary for me.

      Or you all could just use a third party tool in conjunction with N++ like NetDrive or WebDrive (both can be found for free if you google a little bit). That way, ANY program can use your FTP server as a local drive.

      I've tried Netdrive.  It worked, but it was very slow.  N++ seems to list the directory multiple times causing a lot of ftp access.  If the file system access could be limited, then the netdrive approach might be usable.

      Yeah, a plugin like this would be very cool.
      I'll try to code it -- not sure if I'm able to do it.

      I think the plugin shouldn't concentrate on FTP, it should work with SCP/SFTP. There is already an OSS tool to do that called WINSCP so it'd be possible to copy stuff from it...

      You can set the preferences in winscp to open files directly in notepad++, and if you save the files they are automatically saved in your server.

      Oh yeah, winscp is much better. thanks for the tip.  I can use N++ now.

      Agree,It's very very important function for me too.
