What is FTP_synchronize?

FTP_synchronize

FTP_synchronize is a super handy Notepad++ plugin that helps you keep your text documents synced with servers through FTP. This means you can upload and download files directly without needing any other FTP software, which is pretty neat!

Easy Uploads and Downloads

This tool lets you set up multiple profiles for different FTP accounts. You can even customize the transfer options for each profile, making it really flexible to use.

Getting Started with Installation

When you download the package, you'll find two DLL files along with a text document. Be sure to check out that .txt file because it tells you whether you need the Unicode or ANSI version. After that, just copy the DLL file into the "plugins" folder of Notepad++. If Notepad++ is running, don’t forget to restart it! Once that's done, you should see FTP_synchronize in the "Plugins" menu.

User-Friendly Interface

The plugin adds a new pane right in the main menu, making it easy to switch between your document and your list of FTP connections. It's all about keeping things simple!

Setting Up Your First Profile

You’ll want to start by setting up at least one FTP profile. You just need to fill in some details like profile name, address, port number, username, password, connection mode (active or passive), timeout settings, and initial directory on your FTP connection. Plus, you can choose how files will be transferred—binary, ASCII, or automatic.

Caching Options

If you're curious about caching: FTP_synchronize can cache any new files uploaded to the server and automatically handle renaming or removing them from cache if needed. It even uploads cached files when saved! You can also set a specific cache location if there's none provided by your profile.

Smooth Transfers Every Time

This tool allows for smart transfers too! It can delete partially downloaded files if something goes wrong during the download process. You'll also see a queue of tasks and get notifications when new items are added.

In summary, FTP_synchronize offers an easy way to manage uploading and downloading text documents via FTP directly from Notepad++. No extra software is necessary!
