How to Edit a Live PHP Site via FTPIn Feburary 2016 25,

In Feburary 2016 25,
Open File Explorer or Internet Explorer: both programs access the built-in FTP client.
Type the site's host server FTP url into the address bar and press 'Enter.' The FTP address starts with 'FTP://' instead of 'HTTP://" like a website. ExampleSite.com might have its FTP server located at a URL like 'FTP://adminFTP.ExampleSite.com.'
Enter your client account user name and password then press 'OK' to log in to the FTP.
Locate the PHP files you want to update in the FTP browser window. The FTP browser window displays the files on the FTP server like File Explorer displays local files on your computer or home network.
Copy the PHP files you want to update to your computer by highlighting them in the browser window, pressing 'Ctrl+C,' opening a local folder Window in File Explorer and pressing 'Ctrl+V.' You can edit the copy of the file stored on your computer, but you can't edit the one stored on the FTP site.
Open the PHP files you want to edit with Notepad or a code editing program, make the changes you want to make in the code and save the updated file.
Highlight the updated versions of the files you want to update on the PHP site in the File Explorer window and press 'Ctrl+C' to copy them.
Open the FTP window, locate the folder hosting the files you want to update and press 'Ctrl+V' to upload the files to the FTP. If Windows asks, choose the option that overwrites and replaces the files. The new versions of the files will immediately display on the site when refreshing the page.
