Dont know what are you developing, but why not transferring with FTP (if external server) or copying (if local XAMPP/WAMPP server)?

I use wampserver (http://www.wampserver.com/) installed on my laptop. After loading a skeleton of my compnent into a copy of Joomla that was installed on the wampserver, I can open the component files directly from the www folder. This way when you save your changes you just refresh the browser page.

This here is the best and easiest solution for working locally: http://www.apachefriends.org (specially for Windows user).

From their website:
At the moment there are four XAMPP versions:

* a version for Linux systems (tested for Ubuntu, SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake and Debian),
* a version for Windows 98, NT, 2000, 2003, XP and Vista,
* a beta version for Solaris SPARC (developed and tested under Solaris 8),
* and a beta version for Mac OS X.

Even php4 is dying, XAMPP can switch between php4 and php5 (one click) which makes development very easy.
