FTP_synchronize : Upload and download text documents via FTP in Notepad++ using this simple plugin that supports multiple profiles and transfer configurations
FTP_synchronize is a Notepad++ plugin you can use to keep your text documents synced with servers via FTP.
Sync text documents to FTP websites
It gives you the possibility to directly upload and download files using FTP accounts, thus excluding the need of a third-party FTP client.The tool supports multiple profiles for setting up multiple FTP accounts, and it enables you to configure transfer options for each profile.
Easy to integrate into Notepad++
The downloaded package includes two DLL files as well as a text document. Make sure to read the .txt file to figure out whether you have to use the Unicode or the ANSI version.Then, you just have to copy the DLL file to the "plugins" folder of Notepad++ and restart the application if it was running before doing this. Now, you should be able to access FTP_synchronize from the "Plugins" menu.The plugin creates a new pane that's embedded in the main menu, so you can easily switch from the document to the list of FTP connections.
Set up multiple FTP configurations
You can get started by setting up at least one FTP profile. To do this, set the profile name, address, port, username and password, connection mode (active or passive), timeout, and initial directory on FTP connection, transfer mode (binary, ASCII, automatic). Furthermore, you can set the tool to show the subtree root folder on connection, enable keep alive, and use profile cache.As far as caching is concerned, you can set FTP_synchronize to cache any new file uploaded to the server, rename and remove it from the cache if these events take place on the server, autoupload caches files when saved, and use a specific cache location if none is provided by the profile.When it comes to transfers, the FTP tool can be instructed to delete partially downloaded files if the download fails, show the queue, open the window when new items are added to the queue, and so on.
Practical FTP client embedded in Notepad++
All things considered, FTP_synchronize delivers a convenient way of uploading and downloading text documents via FTP accounts in Notepad++, thus eliminating the need of using other FTP software.
