WebDAV can be made as secure as HTTP or a whole host of other services can be, with SSL/TLS. https://your.webdav.server/path/to/ stuff is equally as secure (assuming you've got as good a security certificate) as doing your banking or credit card stuff online, or doing secure email (SMTPS or IMAPS). That being said, WebDAV over a non-SSL'd connection is probably a bad idea.

Hope that helps, Jeff

I highly recommend Transmit. TextMate not having built-in FTP/SFTP capability was a big issue for me at first, but having gotten used to Transmit and all of it's amazing features, I have to say that I no longer care...

While it's not free, Panic Software's Transmit is a great companion app to TextMate.

I guess you use it's Sychronize to make it all work out?

If you're cool with using the terminal you can set up a couple of scripts to rsync back and forth between the server and your machine. rsync is very efficient at doing incremental syncs so you can set it just to sync the whole directory tree and it'll work it all out.

Put: $ rsync -avz -e ssh /Users/me/project/* user@server.example.com:/home/ www

and

Get: $ rsync -avz -e ssh user@server.example.com:/home/www/* /Users/me/ project

If you register your public ssh key with the server you won't have to type a password. It's very easy in practice - just keep a terminal window open and fire off the Get script whenever you want to update your local files to reflect changes on the server and Put when you've made an edit you want to commit to the server.

I use Interarchy with FTP/SFTP Disk mounted in Mirror Upload (optionally every 5 seconds). I edit my files with TM projects locally and let Interarchy to sync the server when my project seems to be ok.

You can also check out Unison, which is a bidirectional rsync.

Or you could use a version control system like subversion or cvs.

I'm not 100% certain if the server in question is behind a firewall or not. If it was, it could safely serve up WebDav (or Samba), but if it is a publicly accessible server, I'm not sure how securely WebDave can be configured.

Theoretically it could run over SSL - but I haven't tried that so I don't know if there are any problems. I also don't know if the finder supports https connections.
