Sometimes version controls work. Sometimes they don't. This is one of
the great few features I really miss from UltraEdit in the old days of
me doing most of my programming on windows. There are many, many
circumstances where it is just not an option to use version control to
edit these remote files.

Open from SFTP would be a godsend and save -so- much time and effort.
Transmit'n files back/forth is such a pain :)
