Steve,
the answer (as so often) is to use Emacs! It allows
you to ftp to the server and edit the files, handling
the saving to the remote server automatically. You can
also use a whole range of different editing modes so
that you can support html, xml, LaTeX, php, Perl etc
etc.

If you connect to the directory you can list the files
as well, allowing you to mark files for deletion,
moving or whatever.

To do this, just open Emacs and then C-x f for 'find
file', then enter the path /username@servername:/ and
hit return. You'll be asked for your password
(associated with the username you've used). You'll get
the appropriate directory, and can navigate the
directory structure from there. A file can then be
opened by selecting, and hitting return.

Agree with whoever it was that said you really need to
have a localised version for testing before uploading
though.

Take Care

Richard
