it’s how I’ve always kept track of which files I’ve edited during development that I’ll need to move to production when the feature/bug is done.

Probably not the place for this, but you really should be using a version control system for this. Git commit,and git push locally, then git pull on the server and your changes are there. Even if you don't have access to a git/svn/etc server and it's a private project (so you can't use github) you can still use git locally to track your development.
