The Notepad++ plugin installation may silently fail if the firewall or proxy server is not allowing the outbound connection by WinGup ( gup.exe). WinGup for Notepad++ is a Generic Updater whose purpose is to provide a ready-to-use and configurable updater that downloads an update package then installs it. WinGup is capable of dealing with http protocol and process XML data. Well, try to install it and then transfer 5000 x 1 kB files over FTP and HPN-SSH 🙂 The difference is amazing! Even faster than 1×5000 kB over FTP.For more information, check out the project’s GitHub page. BTW if somebody have choice between SSH and FTP – SSH connections are less secure (gaining SSH auth data gives classic shell access as well, unless one will use known_hosts), but they are often more stable and faster, especially when server is using HPN patch. I was searching for a way to connect by SSH to some server and I found it, so thanks, Etay Cohen-Solal. Well, years ago people were buying microwave ovens with Internet browser on the front shield, so I won’t judge 😉 Also I’m wondering why one would use console client and communicate with server using shell in text editor. There’s no such thing as “true SSH client”, as there is nothing “more true” in sending commands using part of protocol than sending files using that protocol as well.

SFTP is a part of SSH 2.0 specification.įTP over SSH is just FTP protocol using SSH to communicate, but that’s other case and I think you could mistake FTP over SSH (which is not part of SSH) with SFTP (which is part of SSH standard and case of article). Krzysiu Maat – your comment is misleading.
