Thank you and thank you!

So it sounds like it's not any one of the products I'm using, but the way they interact. TextMate opens a local copy that Transmit creates, and, it seems that when I save in TextMate, TextMate sends the metadata, and Transmit respects that and saves it to the server. But since I've changed the permissions in the interim, my changes on the server (outside TextMate and Transmit) are being lost as a result.

I will have to change the way I work with that, so that I change permissions first and then open it in TextMate via Transmit in the future.

I'll also look into rmate, but not sure that will work for me either...

Thanks!

Caveat: rmate now requires permission to install python gems on the target server, instead of the previously minimally invasive script that could be simply plopped into ~/bin

This has drastically curtailed my ability to use rmate remotely.
