You can still copy the files over. However, I prefer to use source
control to sync up the files instead of using scp/ftp, etc.

Assuming that you are using asdf for your project, you can just type
,load-system in slime REPL to reload your modified files.

I usually have gnu screen running and dedicate one terminal for my
lisp's REPL (not slime).

When I need slime (for debugging), I just type (swank:CREATE-SERVER)
and then I can connect from emacs.
