I am currently a user of BBEdit. I'd like to be able to use TextMate if I could find a combination of an SFTP client and TextMate that would allow me to edit multiple files remotely as a project (grouped in the same window, with the drawer). Is there a combination of programs that will allow this? Working locally is not an option because the dev environment includes a huge MySQL database, among other things. But if I could work locally in a way that immediately and automatically updated remotely, that might be OK.

I use macfuse to do this, more specifically sshfs. It's a bit annoying if you don't have a good network connection to the other host. But for the most part it works well. I have had some issues with early versions of solaris and SSHFS though.
If you are going to go this route, check out MacFusion on macupdate, it's a gui for macfuse essentially.

I just tried this, but found it far too slow to be at all useful. I have hundreds of files on the remote server, but even working with a smaller number of files, it was not fast enough to be useful, at least compared with BBEdit's built-in SFTP. Anyone have any other solutions?
Have you tried the three options listed here (i.e., the "hack", Interarchy or the FTP/SSH bundle)?

Interarchy was one of the first things I tried, but I found that it was slow (much slower than Fuse/MacFusion, which MIGHT be fast enough if I'm willing to turn off other programs that use the net), and, even worse, crashed frequently.
The hack looks like way more trouble than it is worth, frankly. The whole point is for this to be fast.
The FTP/SSH bundle works only on single files, not entire projects, if I read the description correctly. I'll give it a try, but that seems less than ideal.
I'm also seriously considering giving UltraEdit a try though VMWare Fusion. I really hate working on a PC, but that seems to be my only other good option for sophisticated auto-complete, etc, aside from TextMate. Can someone save me from the horrible fate of having to use a windows editor? :)

OK, I installed the FTP/SSH bundle, and it seems better than I thought from the description. It just might do the trick. I'll have to try working with it a bit. It is still not ideal, because I can't browse files on the remote server without copying them all over first, but otherwise, it looks promising.
There's always emacs...
If you want to invest the time into learning it, it's a definite candidate for this, ssh autocompletion.

Incidentally, have you looked into synchronizing things with some version control system, and working on a local copy? For most projects, such is a generally safer way to work.

I totally agree. From tiny projects to massive projects, I find that I just can't stand the slowness of developing on a remote system. Even if there's no way of previewing what I'm developing locally.
Here's my most recent in depth look into workflows. http://subtlegradient.com/articles/2007/03/30/web-development-environment-an...
I don't recommend committing something to subversion just to get it uploaded to a dev server for testing.
I do recommend using Transmit with DockSend and the Transmit bundle for TextMate. Set it up properly and you can upload with a single action from inside textmate.

Sorry for the late reply. I wanted to do the same thing, so I created a bundle that helps me do everything locally, but easily keep a remote copy up to date for server-side testing.
If you use subversion:
svn checkout 'http://projects.skurfer.com/svn/Remote Project.tmbundle'
Otherwise, you can get the bundle from:
http://projects.skurfer.com/exports/remote_project_bundle.zip
The bundle includes a help file that will tell you more.
