This really depends on the ftp client you use, there are some which achieve
this by using a internal file editor which opens a downloaded local copy of
the file and then whenever you save the file it uploads the new saved
file... Unfortunately I only know of Windows and Mac FTP clients that do
this, at least out of the box anyways
