Apache directory listing with upload button and search textbox - html

So i have a server, with apache 2 - running a directory browser(i think it's called. Where i can access my files), as my own dropbox server. However it does how some limitations, when i'm at school for instance, and i wish to upload a project, i gotta send it with email to myself to upload it, i cant delete or anything. So i wanted to add a delete button(least important), i wanted to add a search function since the files are beginning to stack up. I would also like an upload button. I didn't really understand apache, i followed a tutorial for the server. I have a very basic html knowledge, and i have tried and tried to create it myself, and i have been searching for a loooong time(trust me).
So could anyone post a solution/tutorial/tip or anything useful? Please try to help me instead of answering with rude answers. I'm 15 and hoping to get these features up and running as soon as possible. Thanks:)

Just use the open source FTP FileZilla software https://filezilla-project.org/ instead?

How do I access this database files? (*.H##, *.I##, *.M## ...)

I got software from a developer who move and can't be located, I just got the files but not the source code.
The thing is my client won't be using this software again but he wants to be able to access his data files from another application (the one I'm offering him).
I'm really lost, I've never seen any database (not sure if this is a database) with this kind of files.
Can some one point me in the right direction?
This are the files:
This are some of the files they copy as their database for backup.
So I'm almost sure this is the database, if I open them with a text editor, I can see some data but not in a secuencial way.
I feel kind of dumb asking, I already tried to look for *.H## *.P## *.B## extensions in Google with out any luck.
Hope some one can point me in the right direction.
Edit: I found connection in control panel, does this help any one?

According to this it is H&R block desktop application which produces these file extensions.

How to refresh remote file in PhpDesigner

Usually I am working alone, but now I have a new colleague, so we need to work together.
Unfortunately we suffer the lack of git, so because of certain circumstance we need to work directly on FTP.
I am using Netbeans, but I recommended to her the PhpDesigner, because I know, it is working with files directly on the remote server, not like Netbeans what is make a local copy of the file.
When I edit a file, I tell it to her, so she close the file, and open it again, and my changes are appears.
I there any way to not close the file, just "refresh" it (download from server)?
No, you can't in phpDesigner, I've tried many ways but is not possible. You can do it in Npp.

Update some html when ruby on rails is live

I have a Ruby on Rails website online. I tried changing the HTML, but saw no change when I uploaded the file via FTP.
I've even checked by making a simple change such as adding an HTML heading:
<h1>omais</h1>
I checked the online page which I edited and looked at the source code in the browser, and confirmed that I was on the correct page.
Is there some kind of command to inform the project that there are changes that has been made in the HTML file?
I am new to Rails but good in PHP.
Any help, Thanks
Apart of my comment, I am adding answer here also, so that other programmers can get help from your question.
You need to restart your rails server or just try to start app server, which will leads to rails server restart. If still you face the issue, try to clear your browser's cache.

Online text editor that saves to server

What I have been trying to do for some time is to create a basic (online) text editor that saves files on to the web server.
So far I have had no luck mostly because a lot of examples seem to use a PHP uploader script to save the file and the web hosting service I use seems to have their PHP set up to not allow uploads and there is no way I can change this.
So after no luck elsewhere I decided to see what suggestions you might have. Any suggestions as to what to do?
Find another host. Are you using a free host by any chance? Considering how cheap they are these days (I pay £30ish per year, which is totally worth it as a playground for me), you should invest!

Updating web content locally?

I'm really new to owning a website, I just bought mine today!
But, I've found found pretty fast that updating files can be a nuance.
Make a change locally, save, re-upload.
I really prefer to code locally, as the IDE is much better. Else I'd have no problem coding with the hosts "notepad".
So, my question is, is there software of any kind that will sync your local files, to those that are hosted on the web host? Or is this dependent on the web host?
i use winscp, i tell it to upload changed files, so once logged in, any changes i make locally are automatically updated. there are other ftp clients that do this also.
you can use a file versioning system like svn to download and update files, push new versions. But that isn't really any different than what you are doing now, except that svn offers ability to keep track of previous versions and keep people from overwriting each other's work. I think maybe you might mean more like "when I open and edit file.txt in my editor and save, it is automatically updated on the server" ? If that is the case, there are a lot of editors that will let you open a file remotely and when you save it, it saves it remotely. The one I personally use is html-kit
