I feel your pain. I like to browse the remote FTP tree and edit the files as if they were local. You press CONTROL-S and load your temporary file. It seems simple, and many applications let you keep a list of files open on FTP.
If not free, well, Dreamweaver is actually a fantastic tool: just turn off all WYSIWYG content, and it's a beautiful and polished editor.
Otherwise, the look of aging and the free HTML-Kit Build 292 does pretty good work. http://www.htmlkit.com/download/
