    I’m new to Notepad++, former Dreamweaver user. With Dreamweaver, I could connect my remote folders to a local copy. I’d open the local copy, make my changes, and then hit ‘upload’. I could also see remote and local files in split-screen view and just drag and drop.
    I’ve tried to google this, and found info on using NppFTP (which I have and it’s working to FTP), go to the Cache tab, use the local path box to … to the local path. I’ve done that, but it doesn’t want to add the info to the Profile cache maps, and if I just ‘close’, my path is gone the next time I look.
    Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
    I appreciate any help.

      NppFTP works fine with me. It allows you to edit a remote file. Forget the local cache, NppFTP will manage it for you.

        Maybe if I explain what exactly I tried to do, someone can point me in the right direction: I edited some images on my local computer that I saved in my website’s local copy. When I had Dreamweaver, I had it set up that I could just go into the local folder, pic my images, and upload them, and they’d go to the mirror server-side site. How would I get my locally saved images or files to the server?

          NppFTP may not fit your needs. it works well only for text files.

            Ok, so if NppFTP doesn’t work for what I want to do, is there anything that does?

                I have found WinSCP (mentioned by cmeriaux above) to be very easy to use. You can even configure it to let you edit files on the server using Notepad++ on your local machine!
