I hope ftp-support is added soon, not just being able to edit a remote file, but actually being able to associate a project with an ftp account.
Is there any reason why you don't use an actual FTP application for this? Interarchy has some awesome features for this kind of work. What I do right now is this: For each Project in TextMate, I have an FTP Disk in Interarchy. When I open a Project, I mount the FTP Disk. Whenever I change something in TextMate, it's being uploaded automatically to the FTP server.
The reason I don't want to use an actual FTP application is that I don't want to incessantly switch between the editor and the ftp-application.
Using FTP disks, you don't have to. Of course, it's not quite as nice as absolute automation, but it's pretty close. And it could probably be totally automated using AppleScript by having a script that opens both the Project and the Interarchy FTP disk.
Once both are open, you don't have to do anything in Interarchy anymore. It will pick up on any changes you make in TextMate (or any other application) all by itself.
The interarchy feature you mention sounds pretty nice, and in fact I'll download Interarchy right now, because it does sound sweet, but having it integrated with the editor would be even better. By the way, something like that isn't possible with Transmit (which I currently use), right?
No, Transmit doesn't do anything like that as far as I know. FTP disks are a unique feature of Interarchy.
