There is no problem moving files from one server to another but you must be careful (110% sure) that the files are equivalent. In most cases, I recommend against this -- it is better to be safe than sorry.
When I start a mod, I do it on my local computer.
Every line that I modify (vb file) I wrap with the following:
//==========================\\
// == [ HACK A - GTP ]
enter code here
// == [ 00-00-2005 ]
//==========================\\
This allows me to search for 'modified' sections at a later time with a script that I wrote. The script searches for specific phrases (ie. 'hack a', 'GTP', etc) in a file and displays any file(s) that have been modified. From there, I just have to look at the files for the above comments (wrap). This works online/offline.
This allows me to quickly document my modifications. (I document every modification that I do.)
