Remotely edit server files with editor (e.g. notepad++) on local PC

MemberHi, newbie here. This is probably a silly question, but I still can't seem to find a clear answer. I would like to edit my server files (located on my VPS). I know I can use methods such as winscp to move a server file over to my local machine and then edit it, and then move it right back. Also, I know I can just use nano, vi, etc to edit files directly on the server.
But is there an easier way to accomplish this? Ideally, is there a safe way to temporally mount the server file system on to my local windows machine, and then just edit and save some file, and then just unmount?
If not, how do others seamlessly edit files on their web servers?

I guess my mounting theory is probably not a good idea. So after a little more research, it seems that FileZilla AND notepad++ is an elegant enough solution for me.
These are the steps I followed:

I followed the "Setup FileZilla for Secure FTP (SFTP)" guide posted here on vpsBible.
Then set Notepad++ as the default editor in FileZilla
