Is there any method to edit SASS/LESS files online via FTP

I am working on a SASS project for an efficient code writing. Everything was good until I was working on my local system, but now I have uploaded the files to server and every time I need to make edits, I need to work on my local and then re-upload to server, which is so time consuming. Is there any other way to reduce this time and instead re-uploading the files, I can edit the SASS files online? Would like to know from you guys.

You can use Sublime Text's SFTP package and its "Monitor file" feature appreciated by many here.

In theory you can edit, but it won't compile in CSS. For that you should start your Compass/Gulp or whatever you using on local machine, upload CSS files and only then it will display changes in your browser. For live upload you can use Gulp-SASS and Gulp-SFTP. Gulp will watch files and upload them on change to the server. Here is an article, may be it will be usefull for you

I agree with @RobertWade that this should be part of your version control and build process. You may like to start with a simple gulp sass build process running on your server. Here's a walkthrough http://ryanchristiani.com/getting-started-with-gulp-and-sass/
