Use Putty console in Notepad++

Question

Is there a way to show console of putty in console of Notepad++ (NppExec)?

I am editing files in remote server in Notepad++ with help of WinSCP. And executing console programs from putty console. As I can use cmd inside NppExec, is there any way to use putty's console inside Notpad++?

Answer 1

(Very late answer but it may help people who are looking for an answer)

What you are looking for is:

1. A plugin to run commands (NppExec that I use a lot, or NppConsole)
2. The batch version of putty available on Putty website: plink
3. If your remote machine is under a Linux system, a tool to convert from Linux to Windows: ansicon
4. Copy the executable in some folder and put this folder in your path
5. Restart Notepad++
6. Run the command ansicon.exe plink.exe -ssh user@location -pw yourpasword (F6 key for NppExec)

... And that's it!

I know this thread is incredibly dead and i hate to necro, but i felt like this was worth it to share.

You can also download the Notepad++ Console Plugin which is (imo) a cleaner solution to using ssh when you have putty installed. It will of course also work as just a command prompt for windows.

When you have this plugin installed you can open up an ssh connection using
ssh [email protected]
which will open up a TTY.
