Alright. I think I have everything sorted out and the download monitor plugin does in fact work. Thank you for your help!

The problem seems to be that the local files aren’t in the public directory of my server. I can enter the path the files and the plugin generates a link, but when I click on the link it just tells me that the download path is invalid… Maybe the problem isn’t something that I can/should address from within WordPress, but instead I could cook up a shell script that takes care of it for me.

The local copy is on the the server that hosts my website, but not in my public directory. Usually, the file that I’m editing is a PDF that is generated from LaTeX, so I guess it is more correct to say the file is being overwritten rather than edited.

Thanks for your response! I’m not sure that plugin does what I want though. It seems as though I still have to manually upload the updated file each time I change it? I was hoping for something that would just automatically mirror my local copy of the file on my website each time I change the local copy.
