This has been discussed before, you should find a bunch of stuff on here with a search. I don't get the technical reasons behind it but it seems that it is impossible to get that behavior from TextMate. The easiest way to solve this problem is to use Interarchy (FTP program - not free though...). It allows you to create what they call "Net Disks" which are local mirrors that auto synch to server on change and/or regular intervals. Since they're pretty much local files, you can create TextMate "projects" with them. Not ideal... But it does the trick until a better solution gets built in TextMate. Seeing how customizable TextMate is, I would have thought one of the super smart people on this list would have come up a "reopen current opened documents in a project" but I guess it's not as easy as it sounds ;)

Hi all,
I love a lot of things about TextMate - but I'm still having one major problem.
How can I edit multiple files straight from an FTP server in a single window? I use Transmit 3 - which lets you ctrl-click a file and "edit in" whatever. Then, when you save, it shoots the new file up to the server. However, I'm trying to figure out how to do this within one window - like when you're working on a "project". This works fine in BBEdit but in textmate it just won't work. It's probably the last thing that's holding me back from switching over completely...
