So when this list is besieged by people who are switching from Ultraedit (for example), and have to now shell out for a new FTP app, "just spend another $30" is what we tell them?
Well, there are a number of excellent free SFTP programs.
Or "here's some hack that isn't totally seamless"? If it's replacing an existing app, it has to replicate workflow /exactly/.
I think if we are talking about individuals and not companies, then it doesn't have to replicate exactly. It has to make it possible and maybe even better. I'm already working with TM differently than I worked with BBEdit, Pepper, Alpha, vi and ed.
But on the topic of workflow. I'm still trying to visualize the important aspects of, say, using BBEdit's SFTP in your workflow. What are the particular things that are handy? I seem to remember that if you SFTP'ed a file, then it would be remembered in your recent items with its full location. That was handy.
