I've been having problem with using NppFTP with 000Webhost's ftps.
They have a very short disconnection time of 2 minutes (although the login message says 3 minutes) and NppFTP doesn't seem to notice that the connection got cut so it tries to reuse a dead connection for 30 seconds (even though I've already set the time out to 3 seconds in the profile) and then fails.
These attempts are also not abortable.

So I literally have to reconnect all the time because otherwise it doesn't manage to do anything anymore.
For comparison did I also try FileZilla and while I've also had a few problems at the beginning was it fine overall, it notices a disconnect after 1 minute even though I'm not sure whenever that was FileZilla itself now or the server and on the next action it simply reconnects.

Sometimes does NppFTP indeed notice that the connection is gone and reconnects itself but most of the time does it not seem to have a clue and just use a not working connection.

Upload of /public_html/Firefall/AuctionHall.php succeeded.
-> CWD /public_html/Firefall/  
250 OK. Current directory is /public_html/Firefall
-> PORT 192,168,178,28,78,234  
200 PORT command successful
-> LIST  
150 Connecting to port 20202

226 3 matches total             <-- automatic LIST after upload
                                both the upload and the LIST were successful
                                though I've had cases where one was successful
                                and the other directly failed for whatever reason
-> TYPE I                       <-- new download happening 2 1/2h later
-> SIZE /public_html/Firefall/AuctionHall.php  
-> PORT 0,0,0,0,102,96  
Download of /public_html/Firefall/AuctionHall.php failed
-> CWD /public_html/Firefall    <-- roughly 1 minute after the download attempt
Failure retrieving contents of directory /public_html/Firefall

I already wrote them but they don't see a problem on their end and given that FileZilla mostly worked fine I guess it is something in NppFTP.

I'm using NP++ 6.6.9 and 0.25 of NppFTP.
