28,149 PointsDepends on how you're uploading files to servers, but in general, I just wouldn't.
My usual workflow is usually pushing a github master branch to a server, so I'd have to edit it locally, commit it, and than push it.
It a more straight forward situation, I suppose you could use an FTP client to download the file, modify it, and than upload it right back.
Or some simple servers have text editors built right into their web interface - where you save it, it's live.
