Cyberduck

There is actually already a solution to this, its called CyberDuck (https://cyberduck.io/). I have been using it for years with my remote servers at work, as long as you have a direct connection to the remote (FTP, SFTP, SSH, etc.) you can use this remote file manager to open a copy of the remote code locally for editting. So e.g. My Python source code lives on the remote server (or EC2) but I am editting it locally via CyberDuck inside Atom installed on my Mac, and the 'duck takes care of automatically syncing changes back. Its not 100% foolproof but I have been using it for this exact purpose for a long time. You might suggest it to your colleagues. There are other clients that can also do this such as FileZilla (full of adware these days).
