Or you could use a version control system like subversion or cvs.
Yeah, if you're already using Subversion (you expressed a desire to do so, anyway), then just pull the files down locally that way.
I used to work with all remote files, but since I started using Subversion, I set up a dev environment on my machine, do what I need to do, and check everything in. Then I deploy to the live/production area. I use SwitchTower for that part.
