Sorry, I got really irritated with all this replies to replies to replies to replies stuff, so I started a new clean thread. Please use new messages for **new** posts rather replies to existing ones. Thank you! I guess Sune is on holiday, too busy or at the wig maker after having torn out all of his hair in despair over this issue in the past week ;-) (Luckily I'm already bald )
A couple of thoughts and issues on my mind:
1. I'm just wondering, since sftp is installed by default in OS X, could it not be possible to create a bundle version of sftp sort of in the same way as Chris & Torsten created their superb Subversion bundle ???
Of course this would probably not be as GUI-nice as a real hard coded FTP solution within TM, but in combination with easy support for/from other FTP apps like Transmit, that should take care of most requirements of the "large minority". As and when the drawer is reworked, perhaps we could have some hooks into it for displaying the results of Commands etc, sort of like we can output content into the HTML window. Bit more complicated, I know, but along the same kind of lines (if possible).
2. I really like the Firefox Extensions system as well as the OS X InputManagers/PrefsPanes/Contextual Menu Items bits, as they provide a nice extensibility to the app/system. I'd rather have something like this type of functionality in TM than FTP support built-in, as that could be easily added then by others rather than Allan.
3. Kumar McMillan has done some great work on the Function pop-up bundle. If we could have that result displayed in a pop-up menu inside the TM main window, rather than in a separate window, it would be even better. I know, it requires Allan to make it possible.
The single combining thought behind all of this is that I would like to see a whole variety of widgets and parts of the GUI opened up for access from Commands/plug-ins etc. inside TM. Then we could create our own solutions to fit our own unique requirements, as well as cater for the general needs at the same time.
Allan's comments in his various replies around these subjects is as usual pretty much spot-on, and he sure does know how to get my anticipation buzzing with his various ideas and plans. ;-)
Kind regards,
Mats

Can the sftp binary mount a directory to a disk? We need this sort of functionality

As a matter of fact, Something crazy like this exists:

That is a great find. We could possibly use this within a plugin environment (assuming it compiles on OSX). Then the side drawer will automatically act as a project for remote development environments!

While we're talking about crazy ideas:
I have this vision and have no idea of how to do it or if it is even possible. Someone remarked a while ago that most people edit files locally, or use (s)ftp to edit them and make small changes with ssh & their favorite terminal editor. Now would it be possible to ssh to a remote host and issue a command there that would allow you to edit remote files on your own machine with TM?
It might be a bad habit of me, but if I want to do anything on a remote host, I always ssh in, edit files, issue commands and edit some more files. I could of course use Fugu/Transmit or something else to edit those files, but then I'm working with two sessions where each has his own working environment etc. So, it's just too much of a hassle for me to edit remote files in TM, even though I would like to.

ah, tobias beat me to it ;-)
We could possibly use this within a plugin environment (assuming it compiles on OSX)
seeing that it's actually an extension of the linux kernel, my guess is: no way!
the only chance see here is somebody developing something like that for Darwin or Apple implementing it themselves (or hell freezing over, come to think of it...)
. Then the side drawer will automatically act as a project for remote development environments!
and wouldn't that be grand? ;-)
oh well, a man can dream...

Well, its already possible. With Interacrchy; I create an SFTP disk and drag the location of it to my projects directory. I am not editing files on an SFTP disk. The saves are not done in real time, rather there are integrity check to see if the files have been editing and then posted to the server. Using this method I can use the wonderful SVN bundles within TM and editing the files on the remote server development environment.

I've had the same idea, and I don't even think it's crazy! http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.textmate.general/2273/
So this is definitely possible, and could get a lot simpler once TM gets native sftp support.
Cheers, -Ralph.
