KTI: How To Connect Notepad++ To XAMPP

 

I spent many hours searching for ways on how to connect Notepad++ to XAMPP. Like the way it is connected to a Web Server on the internet. But there seems to be no specific steps to what I'm looking for.

After gathering the clues ( consider forums as giving clues when the answer is not close ), trials and errors and analyzing, plus experience in IT, finally got it!

Here it is:

  • Run XAMMP Control Panel
  • Start FileZilla
  • Click Admin ( FileZilla )
  • Connect to Server ( click OK )
  • Click the User Account icon (one face) or go to Edit Menu then Users
  • Click Add ( assign a name )
  • Shared folders is: C:\xampp\htdocs ( Shared folders Page )
  • Check the box beside Files - Write option ( another bonus! I got 550 error code with this one )
  • Click OK
  • Open Notepad++
  • Go to Plugins menu, NppFtp, check Show NppFtp Window
  • Go to NppFtp Window, click Settings icon, then Profile settings
  • Create a Profile name, Hostname is: 127.0.0.1 
  • Username is the same with what you assigned in FileZilla
  • Initial remote directory is C:\xampp\htdocs
  • Close the Profile settings, click the Connect icon, then the Profile name

If successful, you will see: Nppftp - Connected to (profile name)
and the xampp folder below.
