edit files on remote server - which app?

i want a tool which will allow me to connect to my web hosting so that i can edit the files directly on the server. I don't want to use ftp app to download, edit and then re-upload. Can I use something to open the file directly on the server and keep hitting ctrl+s to save directly? thanks

Just found the ideal feature in notepad++

Nice - are you editing webpages on the fly by any chance?

That is the plan.

Try Netdrive. It basically maps an FTP site to a drive on your local PC, so it is no different that accessing local files.

That looks good. Thanks for that.
