What are folks doing that makes them want to see built-in ftp/sftp/ssh support in TextMate? One situation I can imagine is the desire/need to open many arbitrary files that are located in many arbitrary locations on the Internet. I don't have a good picture of when anyone would be needing to do that though. Are people doing that? For me, the files I want to edit are on my computer. Periodically they need to be uploaded to the net, but my editing sessions don't begin from copies that were on the net.
I have a FreeBSD server in the closet that I try to manage. There it is sometimes useful to edit files. I do most small edits with vim, but once in a while you end up with a large (config) file that needs some big overhaul or back and forth glancing and editting. Then it would be nice to have a quick way of editting that file in TextMate and saving it directly back to the server. Either because it is easier to put it back directly, or so that I can test some settings and go back to editting and saving quickly.
There have been some proposed scripts/commands that use ssh and keys to go back and forth to TM with temporary files, but I'd rather have it as built-in so that it is a bit more robust.
