How to change FileZilla so that View/Edit opens .html in Notepad++, not Firefox

In FileZilla go to edit > settings...

In the left column scroll down to "file editing"...

Select it, then in the right column select "use custom editor" then browse to the .exe file on your comp for Notepad++.

Hope it helps. :)

[Additional Note: if you are experiencing the same problem that @theking2 has in the comment below, remember that FileZilla also imports your system's filetype associations. This may cause conflicts with your custom associations. You can disable system associations under edit > settings > file editing > Filetype Associations: look for the checkbox. Don't forget that you did this though - it may cause other problems down the road.]


Go to Edit / Settings / File Editing / Use custom editor (i use notepad++), then Filetype associations / html "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"

If you have 32-bit version of Notepad++ on a 64-bit OS then change the path to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"

Pay close attention, you must specify the filetype before the full address to the application which will open it.
