there a editor that I can edit my conf files with?

I use UltraEdit for this.
Another thing you can do is mount your linux hard drive as a Windows
network share via samba and then use TextPad to edit the files. TextPad
does not support sftp but I have found it easier to use and less buggy than
UltraEdit.
So I do both things. Sometimes I edit config files via UltraEdit and sftp.
Sometimes I log into a machine, copy the config file to the samba share,
edit it with TextPad, and then copy it back. The second technique may seem
like a lot of work but it has the added benefit of being safer. You're
making a copy before you edit (which you should do anyway).
