Is there any alternative file-server program because i want to edit my files on the server so i don't have to download all files to my computer before i can edit them. I'm using samba locally it works just like i wanted.

One solution to this is the WebDav protocol, which runs over http (or preferably https). I have never had the need to set this up myself, but this video a video showing how to configure the server side on Ubuntu 10.04 looks useful... Set Up WebDAV With Apache2 On Ubuntu 14.04 Server thats on You Tube.

You can use the traditional FTP(S) - see FTPS part, SFTP, or even Apache Directory Index (example). What are your needs according to the speed, data size, etc...? Also I can imagine a torrent client on the server, with web seed, if you need massive file sharing.
Quick solution is a VPN server, if you have public IP. Combine with DynDNS service and you get what you need.
Ps. you can not avoid port opening, just in case of a torrent client, with an internet-wide accessible private/public tracker. Consider using Magnet links, open trackers, DHT!
If you need future assistance, ask in comments!
