to and from the remote server in a graphical fashion, although this can also
be achieved using Nautilus.

The command line method of doing this would be using scp (e.g. scp
<filename> user at hostname:/var/www/public_html or whatever your file path is
to the hosting directory).

To copy files before you edit them just
cp filename filename.old

You'll then be able to edit the original file with nano or vi or whatever
you prefer as an editor...

Hope this helps
