| A browser downloads files. It can also upload files. But the files it
downloads are only copies of the files on the server. And the files it
uploads are, of course, not the same files as the ones on the server either.
So, what you're really asking is:
Is there any way to download a copy of a text file from a web site, load it
into some sort of text file editor, and then use the browser to upload the
modified copy and have the server replace the original with the modified
copy? And the answer is "yes," but it ain't easy. It requires both
server-side and client-side programming to do, along with an intimate
understanding of HTTP, administrative privileges on the web server, and the
proper permissions assigned all the way round. It's a programming and
security nightmare to accomplish, but if you're a seasoned web programmer,
you should be able to do it.
Another alternative is to use a Microsoft SharePoint Portal server. You may
want to ask your company to purchase it.
