In fact, jEdit can be configured with an "ftp" plugin to edit files on z/OS. It is a little tricky to setup, but works very cool, and supports setting the encoding and line-terminators of the file.
But, what I tend to do most when developing a "project" of code is to setup the source tree in Eclipse and then use an "ant" script to incrementally upload any changed files, using the "ftp" task with the "depends" tag.
