FTP/Live Edit

I'm looking for something similar to Fetch for Windows XP.
I want to edit files in a text editor right from the FTP program, and save them on the server without having to upload and download them each transaction.
Anyone got any ideas?

Are you talking about
http://fetchsoftworks.com/?
I'd encourage you to setup a development environment on your local box, then you only have to upload the finished product.
Look into SVN too. Eclipse is a great PHP IDE which integrates SVN seamlessly. Might take a bit of research on your part, but these are tools of the trade.

I think you're looking for an editor with FTP capability, rather than an FTP program with text editing capability.
Dreamweaver's nice, but not free. Check the "What Editor Do You Use" threads - there's bound to be something in there for you.

Are you looking for an IDE level editor or just something that can open files on your server and make changes to them?
A simple FTP/SCP tool that can do that is WinSCP.
A more robust solution could be to use something like Eclipse/NetBeans/Zend Studio, or another editor with FTP capabilities, like PSPad.

I think WinSCP will do remote edit. I think it does FTP. It allows secure connection too.

WinSCP does SFTP, FTP and SCP. Default is SFTP with an SCP fallback. But it does FTP and remote edits well.
