Hi, I would like to use Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm) as my primary text editor. I am working on a language called Adv+ where the source codes are saved in an AIX server. I downloaded the ftp_synchronize plugin and installed it. However, the ftp_synchronize plugin allows only to browse thru the folder and then select the component from the browse listing output. My unix primary source code directory is /met/le which contains thousands of files and hundreds of directories under it. As a result, the ls command seems to take a very long time. All the times, I know which source I need to modify (for ex, it can be /met/le/fwdptr.bv). Is there a way to directly download this file into my local cache with out browsing the entire directory listing? I tried the RAW FTP command "RETR /met/le/fwdptr.bv", but it doesn't download the required file. Can some one help me? Thanks, Balaji.

Are you saying you are trying to use a file to run ftp commands? Does you client use GET command? "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10

Hi, Thanks for the response. No, I am not using a file. In the notepad++ FTP plugin, there is an icon which says "Issue Raw FTP command". After connecting to the FTP site, I click this button and it pops up a text field where I can enter FTP commands. I type RETR /met/le/fwdptr.bv in the text field. Notepad++ is suppose to download the file from the FTP server and opens in the editor. But it is not working as expected. Sorry, you may not be able to follow unless you use it. Notepad++ is an open source freeware which you could download and try. Thanks, Balaji.
