I noticed in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIxDJof7xxQ - that Ian uses a text editor that enables maintaining a FTP connection. Whenever he saves the text-file (which is a HTML file in his case), that update gets sent to the server automatically. I would love to be able to do that.

As for now I use Notepad++ in which I predominately create HTML and JavaScript text files. My machine is Windows 7. I have a web-hosting account (ASP.net) for my domains, which a开发者_StackOverflowlso includes a FTP account, of course.

I am looking for a lightweight text-editor that enables the functionality which can be seen in the above video - I want to be able to open a text-file (remotely via FTP), edit it, and then just hit CTRL+S to send the updated version to the remote server via FTP.

The Zeus Lite editor does seamless FTP editing.

Doesn't Notepad++ have a plug-in for this? I think I noticed that a while back...

Not quite what you're looking for, the FileZilla FTP client will detect that the file being edited has been modified and prompts you to upload it (maybe that can be made automatic also).

Vim can do this, using the ftp plugin.

Notepad++ is the editor you are looking for. I use it all the time to edit files on LAMP servers with FTP

under plugins open nppftp and click show, and the command interface for the ftp engine will appear.
