Notepad++ with Local and FTP synchronizer. [?]

问题:

Does the Notepad++ have Local and FTP synchronizer by any plugin?? because I develop websites using PHP and notepad++ has all the features I like and its really lightweight but I had to switch to Netbeans because I use a web hosting but I always like to save the code in my computer too. and netbeans can do that, even anything you insert locally in the folder it automatically adds the folder and the files in the FTP server which is great. but if the notepad++ has the feature to at least update the files that we are saving in notepad++ in both local and ftp server I would be so glad, I search that for a long time, but I can't use netbeans anymore I lose way too much time, netbeans is really heavy!

Thanks!

NppFTP: a plugin that allows FTP, FTPS, FTPES and SFTP communications. Very useful for web development.

Install it from Plugin Manager

These are NppFTP plugin panel and toolbar button

Open profile settings dialog

Then configure profiles

Just wanted to post this here for anybody looking for the same solution I was looking for... (and I think helps answer this question more thoroughly).

I keep an exact replica of my public_html directory on my local machine. I wanted to be able to double click a file on the remote server and live edit so that I had a mirrored copy on my local machine. Note: if you are looking for functionality similar to Dreamweaver's site manager... there is a feature request for that. This solution only allows your local files to get updated when you edit a remote file.

So here goes the basic connection settings (pretty standard):

h: some.ftphost.com
u: some_ftp_user
p: a_very_secure_password
d: /public_html

Then, here is where the magic comes in. Under the "cache" tab for the ftp profile, add the following:

Local path: E:\Path\to\your\local\server\public_html
External path: /public_html

The external path should be the same as the "initial directory" in your connection settings. Hope this makes sense. Please ask questions if you have any.

Then what you need is rather FTP_synchronize

double-clicking file will open it for editing and saving file (in usual way) will update it on server .

I actually prefer the way that Notepad++ works with FTP compared to Netbeans. Notepad++ always treats the remote file as the master copy. So when you open it, it first downloads it and stores it in the local cache. Netbeans however always opens the local copy first - you have to explicitly synchronise with the external server to pull down the files from the server. If you're working with other developers - its much better to use the server copy so that you pull down any changes by other developers.

If you want the synchronisation try these steps:

1. In Notepad++ | NppFTP | Global Settings | Set the Global cache to be C:\inetpub\wwwroot\%USERNAME%@%HOSTNAME% which works for IIS or change the directory to your webserver root directory
2. You will have to make sure Notepad++ has permissions to create directories in your server root
3. Download one file from the server using NppFTP so that you can see what the directory struction looks like you can probably put just %HOSTNAME% e.g. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\domain.com
4. Then use Filezilla to download all the files into that directory - you can also use Filezilla to check for synchronisation changes.
5. Then use NppFTP which will download the files into that structure.
6. You should then be able to access the files through localhost/domain.com
7. If you're the only one working on the project that should then be enough, but if there are others, or if you make changes elsewhere you can use Filezilla to check the file timestamps to synchronise.

The default install for Notepad++ has a Plugin called NppFTP on the Plugins menu. I don't know how feature-full it is, however.

1. Get NppFTP
2. Connect to ftp.xxxx.com
3. Double click file to open
4. Edit changes
5. Save with automatic upload
