Is the machine where you have your MUD reachable from the outside?  Then you
probably should not run Samba or any other such servers on the machine.  The
absolutely easiest way to edit files on another server is to simply FTP
them, and if you are using Windows, the best editor would be EditPlus
(http://www.editplus.com/) and then you SSH in to the server and compile
through the shell.  My recommendation is SecureCRT, which is the best client
out there, although it might be on the expensive side, so you could probably
make do with Putty or any other client you might prefer.

EditPlus might not have cross-lookups and such, but you'll get the files in
a list on the side (it saves directly through FTP when you hit save), and it
has syntax highlighting and a decent regex engine for search/replace work
(although the regex is a bit basic for my taste).

Warm Regards,
