In recent versions of Notepad++ plugin is no longer included by default, thanks to Kadimi for heads up in comments. It’s not actually editing remote files, more like editing copy of file which is automatically synchronized to server. FTP plugin effectively makes it capable of editing file on FTP server. Notepad++ by itself is great text editor and I had previously covered that. Luckily Notepad++ came to rescue with its FTP plugin.

Nowadays I highly recommend to use WinSCP instead, it supports more secure connections and integrates with Notepad++ well.
