Notepad++ with Local and FTP synchronizer. [?]

Does the Notepad++ have Local and FTP synchronizer by any plugin?? because I develop websites using PHP and notepad++ has all the features I like and its really lightweight but I had to switch to Netbeans because I use a web hosting but I always like to save the code in my computer too. and netbeans can do that, even anything you insert locally in the folder it automatically adds the folder and the files in the FTP server which is great. but if the notepad++ has the feature to at least update the files that we are saving in notepad++ in both local and ftp server I would be so glad, I search that for a long time, but I can't use netbeans anymore I lose way too much time, netbeans is really heavy!

Thanks!

Does NotePad ++ have FTP?

Open NotePad++ and click on the Show NPPFTP icon on the top menu bar to show the nppftp window. Click on the Settings button and choose Profile Settings. Click on the Add new button on the left bottom corner of the Profile Settings window. Then type in the FTP information for the web site.

Then what you need is rather FTP_synchronize

double-clicking file will open it for editing and saving file (in usual way) will update it on server .

Just wanted to post this here for anybody looking for the same solution I was looking for... (and I think helps answer this question more thoroughly).

I keep an exact replica of my public_html directory on my local machine. I wanted to be able to double click a file on the remote server and live edit so that I had a mirrored copy on my local machine. Note: if you are looking for functionality similar to Dreamweaver's site manager... there is a feature request for that. This solution only allows your local files to get updated when you edit a remote file.

So here goes the basic connection settings (pretty standard):

h: some.ftphost.com
u: some_ftp_user
p: a_very_secure_password
d: /public_html

Then, here is where the magic comes in. Under the "cache" tab for the ftp profile, add the following:

Local path: E:\Path\to\your\local\server\public_html
External path: /public_html

The external path should be the same as the "initial directory" in your connection settings. Hope this makes sense. Please ask questions if you have any.
