How do I edit a script without having to download the script and re-uploading an edited version?

We have a number of text editors available on the cluster, ranging from simple editors like nano to more powerful emacs and VIM.

You can set your preferred editor using the EDITOR environmental variable:

export EDITOR=nano

On Farnam (http://ood-farnam.hpc.yale.edu) and Grace (http://ood-grace.hpc.yale.edu) you can choose the “edit” option after selecting a text file you want to from the files app to open a browser-based editor.
