This is an academic answer in that I've only ever 
read about it not tried it....

A quick question about the tools of programming. I remember the long
discussion a few months ago about editors: my requirements are much narrower
here. Is there a program that can open and save files via FTP on a remote
location, supports Python syntax highlighting and works on Windows? I
usually use SciTE or just good old IDLE, but neither can do FTP ...

I think emacs can do this in something called archie mode(??)
It goes and ftps a copy of the file and when you 'save' it it ftps it back
again 
to the remote server.
 
Emacs of course has a python mode so you simply run that on the file while 
editing to get syntax coloring etc.
 
I think thats what you wanted?
