The Dexter website has instructions on how to do this but I want to summarize it again here with some small changes. https://www.dexterindustries.com/BrickPi/brickpi-tutorials-documentation/program-it/hints-and-tricks/
1) Open Notepad++ and add NppFTP plugin if you don’t already have it.
- Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager
- Find NppFTP and install it.
2) “Show NppFTP Window” in the Plugins dropdown.
3) Click the gear symbol and then “Profile settings”
4) Add a new profile. Call it “GoPiGo” or any other name and edit the following fields:
Hostname: dex.local Connection type: SFTP Port: 22 Username: pi Password: robots1234 (or your new password) Initial remote directory: /home/pi (or your preferred directory)
5) Authorize remote editing on Raspberry Pi.
On Raspberry Pi, open a terminal and enter this:
sudo find /home/pi -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
This will make everything editable. If you only want to set specific files then replace “/home/pi” with another file or folder.
