Actually, it is quite easy to do what you are wanting. In the Tools menu, go to Accounts. Set up your remote server as a new FTP, SFTP or WebDav account. Once you've entered in your information and clicked OK, that account will now be listed in the Explorer. If you dont see the Explorer, go to the View menu, Tabs, Explorer. When you open a file on your S/FTP or WebDav account, PhpEd will download a cached copy. Then, once you save it, PhpEd will automatically upload the changes.
The only "problem" with doing it this way is that PhpEd isnt able to "know" all the possible references (includes/requires) you might have in the file you are editing, whereas if you are working in a Project, PhpEd knows where all the files are and can pull in variables, functions, classes, etc.
Personally, I prefer to set up everything as a project and do the correct mapping to my remote server. That way, PhpEd can pull in all the information as I'm working on any of the files, and I'm still able to easily upload changes to the remote server. AND, I then also have both a local copy and a remote copy of my files in case something happens either to the remote versions or the local versions.
