I have purchased and downloaded WordPress theme. Developer told he will customise it but he wants the downloaded file. Is there any way for Developer to edit the theme online without me actually sending the downloaded file.

If you don't mind me asking, why would you not want to send the developer the theme files?
- Josh
Maybe he can get them and use them for free for his/her sites?
- Atanas
Yes, only concern being he using it for free.

Actually, that really happens. What you can do is install it in wordpress and let him work on wordpress

Sorry, I'm new to WordPress. How do I install WordPress?

Ya it is possible.
WordPress contains two built-in editors that allow you to edit Theme files directly from within your browser. They are called the Theme Editor and Plugin Editor.
Access the Theme Editor from the Administration > Appearance > Editor menu
The Plugin Editor is located at Administration > Plugins > Editor.

Honestly, I would let the developer have the files to work with how he/she chooses to do so. If you do not trust the developer to do the job he has been hired to do after sharing the files with him, I would simply find a developer that you DO trust. Starting a working relationship with someone you do not trust is a recipe for disaster.
You will pay more for crippling the developer by forcing him to use tools/editors that are not worth his time, and you will damage the relationship by demonstrating a lack of trust on your end.
If I were you, I'd find someone I can trust, and have him install wordpress for you, customize the theme and help you set up hosting. This way, you can work with him to perfect the content, give him the required assets, and do QA testing while he does the heavy lifting.
