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?
Actually, it doesn’t make sense to Filezilla into your localhost, you should just use the Notepad Plugin, Explorer.
