I always do web development on my localhost PC with WAMP installed.
Now I want to do web development (PHP) on a dedicated server. But, I will be working on my PC. I don't want to keep updating/uploading the files via FTP or use a Text Editor that support FTP save.
I want something that feel like I'm working from localhost, but, the files are stored on dedicated server. So I can browse the files, view thumbnail images, edit php files from any text editors just like what you do in Windows Explorer.
Is there a solution to do that?
WinSCP is your best option. You can use the explorer view to emulate a windows explorer style interface and edit files using your editor of choice (see the preferences).
Viewing of thumbnail images is a feature that is on the radar of the devs, but not currently possible. Here is the bugtracker link.
