This site is very useful!
But the instruction is not detailed enough. When you first install Notepad++, you need to do the following in order to use NppFTP to connect to HPCC.
If you want to add the plugin manager manually to your fresh 7.5.1 install:
1. Download it here:
https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/releases
(UNI for 32bit and x64 for x64bit installations, choose the same version as your Notepad++)
2. Extract the zip file and there should be two folders: plugins and updater.
3. Copy PluginManager.dill file and paste it into C:/Program Files(x86)/Notepad++/plugins (not in a folder, just pate the file there).
4. Similarly, copy the gpup.exe file and paste it into C:/Program Files(x86)/Notepad++/updater folder.
5. Then start Notepad++, you should see Plugin Manager now in Plugins tab. Through Plugin Manager, you will be able to install the plugin you want: NppFTP to connect to HPCC etc.
To generalize: download plugins form a valid website. You will get plugins and updater folders. Copy and paste the contents to the appropriate locations in C:/Program Files(x86)/Notepad++. Then go to Notepad++ to see the plugin is now available to use.
If you want to add it automatically:
(An option if you have not installed Notepad++ yet)
download and install version 7.3.3:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.3.3.html
and then download and upgrade it with the latest version:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.1.html
To connect to HPCC
Plugins --> Plugin Manager --> NppFTP --> Show NppFTP Window -->
Click the settings icon --> Profile setting -->
Add new (lower left corner) --> Name your connection -->
Type your information in the Connection tab.
Your connection will be linked and available.
