I would suggest using CuteFTP Pro 2.0 if you have FTP access.
When you browse your directory, and you right click on a file and choose "edit", CuteFTP is going to download it automatically and lets you edit it. When you hit "save" it uploads the changes immediatly. Very easy, and the best thing is: it handles code files like PHP amazingly. No wrong formatting, no wrong return codes, everything is edited and saved as it should be.

Unless something's changed be very careful doing this. If you somehow lose your connection while your editing it could have very bad results.

For example, in my younger days , I would do this and CuteFTP would upload my files automatically when I closed WordPad (editor of choice). Well one time the FTP connection timed out without me knowing and I close WordPad to cause the upload, and got unexpected results. It caused me to lose the entire file because of the way it handled the server-side of things while I was editing the file.

I highly recommend just downloading the file, making your changes, and then re-uploading it. There are a bunch of syntax-highlighting editors available so be safe and edit files off-line.
