Geany - http://geany.uvena.de/

Also look at:

Quanta Plus - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/
Bluefish - http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/
Zend Studio (not free) - http://www.zend.com/en/products/studio/

How are you proposing to connect? e.g.

* FTP down the files, edit them, FTP them up again
* mount the remote server via NFS
* mount the remote server locally via SFTP
* run the editor remotely: ssh -Y username@remoteserver

etc.

A conventional way would be to have a development environment locally,
into which you transfer the files from the Linux server, edit them,
TEST! them, and transfer back the changes (e.g. via FTP).

An editor would be what you would use once you're already
connected to the server (or once you've synchronized files with your
local machine).

I'm a command-line junkie, and a full-time Linux user (with the
exception of my PDA and half of my laptop). So I SSH into the remote
server and use 'vi' to edit the files. From the command line on an
SSH connection, some of the editors you'll have available to you in
almost all cases are vi/vim, pico/nano, and ed, among others.

I use Putty to connect and then call all sorts of command line editors.
I may have Putty windows open to many servers at once.

I also will typically use SSH + vi, but Zend Studio (not sure about
Eclipse) can open an SSH connection and edit files that way.
