MS Word for editing PHP files? That is very, very bad ... You will never
find a job if ever mention it to an employer. Search the archives of
this list for "PHP Editors". I recommend Edit Plus for plain-text
programming. If you want a whole IDE then Zend Studio is probably the
best for you.

Oh well, there are four ways to accomplish this.


1. Professional way:

Using CVS. CVS (cvshome.org) is a system that allows you to version your
files. This, in two words, works this way: in CVS, you `checkout'
(update) a file, edit it, and save it (if somebody else edited that file
while you edited yours both changes will merge). CVS is the most
professional solution for this thing.


2. Simplest way:

Use a mapped networking like Samba. This will mean that you will see
your server just as it was a hard disk on your windows. You drag&drop
files there and the same will occur remotely. Not a very secure way,
though.


3. FTP integrated tool:

Get a good editor that has some FTP integration. It will means that when
you `save' a file in your editor, it will automatically FTP that file on
the server. A very tool-dependent way but can work. Very cruel when
something goes wrong, though. Again, Zend IDE and Edit Plus can do that.


4. The Geeky way:

Edit all your files in a simple VIM or other fancy directly on the
server by logging there with telnet or SSH.


Have fun.
