Can I Edit From the Remote View?

Question

This always bites me.
When I go to Manage Sites and pull up my clients website and
I go to the Remote View, I can't seem to open the file and edit it
and it be done from the server.
Do I always have to download it and it overwrites my Local
View copy and then "Put" it back up on the Remote View site?
Does this not work like Microsoft Frontpage did where I could
edit the server files "Live"?
The problem I have with my Local copy versus the Server copy
is I don't know if the client has edited any files or not.
Any help on this Get and Put stuff would be very much
appreciated.

> Do I then have to upload all of those 218 files back to
the Remote server?
Yes sir. That's the biggest argument against using Library
items.
> And won;t that overwrite the Remote server files?
Yes - it should do so.
> And how do you do that?
It's a pain. You have to make sure that ALL files at the
remote site are
current edit level files. This means that if anyone else is
working on
files they must either save and publish them or discard their
edits. Then
you would have to downsynch to your local site, make the
change and then
upsynch back to the server.
Library items and Template ONLY change local files. Period.
They have no
function on the server at all.
