Great tip Zsolt, I use Flow as my FTP client because it has a built in script editor so i can edit the JS file and find errors.
A couple of things I always do when test JS is add a trigger to show an alert on the first slide (this way I can see if JS is working as one broken line breaks it all). For long code step through it add an alert part way through if the alert doesn't fire the error is above that line then move the left line until you isolate the error.
There are some great online code checkers, be careful using text editors for writing your code as it can substitute smart quotes (Mac textEdit does this which i found out last week).

I have a WAMP server installed on my laptop. That's an easy way to test without using FTP. As for editing, Notepad++ does a great job.
The alert is a good one!
