Fix URL of News Section of Website

Do you think you can fix the URLs of the news section of my site WITHOUT access to my server? The site is PHP & MySQL driven and written using Codeigniter framework. Currently the URL format is [login to view URL] This should be [login to view URL]; (where spaces in the title are replaced by "-"). The content of each article is take from the MySQL database. Although I cannot allow FTP access I can provide you with some relevant .php files (not all or website dump, only relevant files). Alternatively we can arrange a TeamViewer session where you will be able to access the FTP server through Notepad++ on my computer. Only bid if you are willing to work without access to the server.
