Hi Christopher, its been a while since I have written this, however, I believe that as long as SSH is enabled, SFTP is also enabled as well. Thus, just use the default credentials to logon via SFTP. (raspberry & pi) From memory, you don’t actually need to create anything. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/sftp.md Maybe I should re-visit some of these posts and update. Thanks, and let me know if you have any dramas!

It sucks that it’s been dropped off! Might have to update this article soon.

Been editing through SSH + Nano for way too long!

However, Notepad++ has removed the Plugin Manager for now.
The plugin can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nppftp/
And the dll needs to be copied in the plugins/NppFTP folder in the install directory of Notepad++

I’m honestly not sure there’s any real benefits to the x64 version in this application. However, if you’re running a 64-bit OS (like most of us probably are by now), then x64 software is the default, and we get warnings when we try to install the x86 versions of anything. In this case, I had to install both x64 and x86 versions of NPP, then manually import/install the nppFTP plugin for only the x86 version. It gave an access violation the first time and refused to show the nppFTP window, but after restarting NPP, it seemed to work ok. I’m just thinking you might want to update your excellent guide to make note of those conditions, since most Windows users will be on x64 platforms now, and many may not be familiar with how to step around those minor barriers. Your guide helped me greatly and saved me the hassle of edited directly on my Pi with sudo nano, with which I was never comfortable. Your method allows me to edit graphically, and to make backups if I choose.

However, one snag I ran into: accessing via ssh this way only gives access to the ‘mounted’ file system on the Pi, so you can’t get to files on the boot partition, so I ended up having to pull the card anyway. If you know of a way to make nppFTP show the entire folder structure, I’d love to hear about it!

This ticket would suggest x64 is gtg. But yea maybe they need a new dev.

No worries Mike, I’ll put a note in. Out of curiosity however, if you did really need to use nppFTP, why not just run the 32 bit version? What advantages does running the x64 version have? Genuine question mate. I’m curious? cheers

I love Notepad++ anyway so this was a dream. Huge thanks Dwayne!
