Older versions used to remember you were doing that but I is still easy to do. Similar products on FreeBSD haven't worked as well. So, I ftp from my w2k server to both of the servers I use. I also use Adobe's GoLive to maintain my html pages and haven't found anything on FreeBSD that will do what I want it to do better. Quanta on KDE does somethings better than GoLive, so , it is easy to work on both machines and then copy the quanta modified sources back to the w2k machine. This also provides a back up in case one HD fails. I try to separate my systems and wouldn't use samba unless I couldn't do it any other way.
