Configure Notepad++ for localhost browsing (NppFTP)

ftplocalhostnotepadxampp

I can't seem to get the NppFTP plugin to connect to my localhost (via XAMPP) for local development using Notepad++.

According to the http://localhost/xampp/ docs, the default username and password are 'newuser' and 'wampp' accordingly.

I'm using these settings:

host: 127.0.0.1
port: 21
username: newuser
password: wampp
initial remote directory: C:/xampp/htdocs/myrootdirectory

The console just says 'Quit' right after I try and connect.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? And if it's because localhost is not a remote directory, how do I configure Notepad++ to browse my local files without relying on Windows Explorer?

If you're running on windows, make sure you're running your xampp control (xampp ui ) as admin. Then, you have yo check SVC checkbox before filezilla then click start. A pop-up will prompt and click Yes to install it as a service.

after that, click admin then click Yes. set you password then you're good to go.

In you're notepadd++, the settings are the same with the one you posted above.

Hope that helps.

To convert existing tabs to spaces, press Edit->Blank Operations->TAB to Space.

If in the future you want to enter spaces instead of tab when you press tab key:

Go to Settings->Preferences...->Language (since version 7.1) or Settings->Preferences...->Tab Settings (previous versions)
Check Replace by space
(Optional) You can set the number of spaces to use in place of a Tab by changing the Tab size field.
