I run into another real-world, practical hurdle which shoots any attempt at version control to hell. Many a project I hand off to a client gets altered by the client forcing me to work from their "current" version. In a case such as that it would be very nice to have a means of organizing and working remotely.

According to Ian White:
That just lets me edit files that I open via the transmit window, right? I was hoping for a solution where I treat the remote side like the filesystem, i.e. open tm on a folder.
I'd recommend using a version control tool instead of modifying files on the fly. My personal preference goes to Mercurial[1] but any of the available systems would do (heck, even cvs would. Hmmm maybe not :-))
Sometimes version controls work. Sometimes they don't. This is one of the great few features I really miss from UltraEdit in the old days of me doing most of my programming on windows. There are many, many circumstances where it is just not an option to use version control to edit these remote files.
Open from SFTP would be a godsend and save -so- much time and effort. Transmit'n files back/forth is such a pain :)
