Easy way to modify/edit unix files directly from windows

If you are new to unix operating system ,modifying the files using vi is difficult, atleast in the begining days.Here is an easy way to edit the unix files directly from windows.
1]Open your EditPlus editor.
2]Go to File->FTP->Ftp Settings
Here add an account to your unix machine:Name of the unix machine,user with which you login,password and the path.This step is required only once
3]Once you are done with step2, go to File->FTP->Open Remote
Select your account and click browse.Navigate to the required file and open it.Now edit the file and finally save it.This way you can forget the painful way of editing via vi.
I didn't face any issues while compiling the files edited using the method.If you come across any, please comment here.
