With one weird exception on my Macp[which may be MY Mac since no one else
has complained....wish I knew this stupid OS enough to just wipe/reintstall]
 I have had no problems with Komodo[IDE or the free open source Komodo Edit
version] opening files via SFT, SSH, FTP, etc remotely editing and saving
the files again.

Note, I used Komodo IDE ver 4.4.......  didn't want to pay for the upgrade
to ver5, but Komodo Edit works fine for my needs, so I've switched to Komodo
Edit v5[my minimum requirement these days is it works on Mac and Windows,
and preferably Linux, so I can move from OS to OS without learning a new
editor].

If your pure windows based, I highly recommend checking out UltraEdit and
their bigger IDE product.  UltraEdit did most of what I wanted, the bigger
IDE added some nice features.  Both apps I believe will scan all the files
in your project and build a source/class tree and allows you to jump from
calling the function in one file to the definition by just clicking on
it[and it will also show you all calls to a function/method when viewing the
definition].

Other products do something similiar, but they all seem to use the PHPDoc
format documentation to figure things out, they don't just figure it out
from the sourcecode..  Not so great when your inheriting code.

Lasltly, I've seen solutions for both Netbeans, Komodo, and Ultraedit to
call PHP Beautifier on the open file or all files in a project, so that
might help your cleanup:
