FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a way of transferring files between computers / servers.
When you want to transfer files to or from your computers and servers, you will need an FTP Client.
Notepad++ is a free FTP Client. It is a software application that runs on the Windows operating system and was designed to be used as a source code editor that supports several coding languages.
Download and Install Notepad++:
You can download and follow the installation details on the Notepad++ Official Website:

Once you have Notepad++ installed, you'll need your ftp connection details so that you can successfully transfer your files.
