Your talking about 2 different things:

1) Studio has what are called Deployment Scripts. These Scripts use Studio's
script model to push files to remote servers. The scripts can even check to
see if a file has been updated before uploading. This is a _very_ broad
topic so I just suggest you check the VTOM docs. (Visual Tools Object Model)

2) Studio can create 'remote' servers. These can be done either via FTP or
RDS. When you create a server like this, you can browser the remote server
as if it were a local drive. So, you cna open, edit, and save a file as if
it were on your harddrive.

This can be done via the VTOM, but if you just want to save a file to a
remote server, just define the remote server and do a simple "Save As."
