Notepad++ has been giving me issues whenever I leave it for several minutes, seems to be going into some type of standby mode.

Whenever I go to save a file (connected to an FTP server via NppFTP), I get the errors below after the upload hangs for around 20 seconds. If I try again immediately after I see the error message, the transfer then goes through.

--Failure retrieving contents of directory /public_html/etc

-OR-

Upload of C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\config\NppFTP\Cache\filenameanddirectoryhere failed

Is there a way to prevent this? (get Notepad to ping the server every X seconds to prevent the connection timing out or something like that?)
