I am not sure whether this is a bug or not:

I am working on my remote (web-)server and want to add a new file to, for example, a folder. When I am trying to save the file then (on the remote machine), PHPEd is only giving me the option in the save-dialogue to save it *locally* on my machine.

This is somehow confusing?!

However, I can save it locally and then add chose the file to add it to the remote folder...

What am I doing wrong?

To save a file to a remote location you have to either make that server available through mapped network drive or through an FTP or WEBDAV account. In first case, mapped drive is shown under "My Computer" in corresponding drive letter. In case of FTP or webdav, you need to create the account in Tools->Accounts. Then it will be shown in the tree next to My Computer.
