Virtual Hard Drive with Propellent?

A while ago, I was looking at different Microcontrollers, and I came across one the said it had a Web-Based IDE.
I was intrigued, and watched a video that demonstrated how it worked.
On the video, it showed someone writing code on a website, downloading the code as a file, and then dragging it to a folder on his computer.

It then downloaded the code to the microcontroller; he reset it, and the microcontroller ran the code.

I am wondering how to setup a simillar thing.
(Making a folder on my computer, and when I drop spin files into it, have it compile the code and program the propeller with propellant.)

    That's easy. Just create a shortcut to Propellent.exe, and move it to your desktop or another convenient location. Any Spin file that you drag and drop onto the shortcut will get compiled and loaded into your Prop's RAM.
