Is there a way to show console of putty in console of Notepad++ (NppExec)?

I am editing files in remote server in Notepad++ with help of WinSCP. And executing console programs from putty console. As I can use cmd inside NppExec, is there any way to use putty's console inside Notpad++?

(Very late answer but it may help people who are looking for an answer)

What you are looking for is:

  1. A plugin to run commands (NppExec that I use a lot, or NppConsole)
  2. The batch version of putty available on Putty website: plink
  3. If your remote machine is under a Linux system, a tool to convert from Linux to Windows: ansicon
  4. Copy the executable in some folder and put this folder in your path
  5. Restart Notepad++
  6. Run the command ansicon.exe plink.exe -ssh user@location -pw yourpasword (F6 key for NppExec)

... And that's it!
