I lost a file while uploading due to internet disconnection and luckily I had 'Simple Backup' pre-selected. Is there a Notepad++ directory where I can get this file back?

According to the help file, if you didn't specify a custom directory, the backup file should be in the same folder as the original. It should have the same name (including extension) with the .bak extension added on.

same folder as original you mean in the remote server or local server? – Jae Kun Choi Sep 13 '11 at 5:19
@Jae Usually, it'll be whichever machine you're running Notepad++ on. If you opened the file from a remote location, it might be there instead, so I'd check both. – Anna Lear♦ Sep 13 '11 at 5:20
I actually found backup under cache!!! Thanks for your help though! – Jae Kun Choi Sep 13 '11 at 5:33
You found the backup in the cache since that's where the remote file was loaded to in order for Notepad++ to access it. – DanH Sep 13 '11 at 11:42
