Preferred FTP for beginner?

I'm currently using FileZilla. It's laborious because after I save the file in my text editor, I have to refresh the file in FileZilla, then drag it over to the directory. Should I download a different FTP program? Ideally I'd like to find a way to just press refresh on FileZilla and it would automatically re-upload files onto the directory (assuming they are newer than their directory equivalents). Thanks!

If you use FireFox as your browser I would recommend the FireFTP extension that FireFox offers, it's nice because it adds your FTP right into a browser tab and it's very easy to use. I've asked this question in here before because I use Chrome and FileZilla seemed to be the most popular answer.
