[TextMate] workarounds for lack of (s)ftp/external editing support?

All I want for Christmas is world peace, an end to hunger, and for TextMate to either support (s)ftp or be supportive of the external editor thing. As in this: http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html

I'd become so reliant on Transmit's ability to open a text file in BBEdit, where I could just sit 'save' and have it upload automatically, that having to do it by hand again is really getting up my nose.

For the moment, can anyone recommend a way to get around this lack of support? I still have BBEdit, of course, but I'd rather be using TextMate. I'm not so good with shell scripting so I wouldn't know the first place to start where that's concerned.

Can anyone help?
