First of all, congrats on getting the app out. As an imminent switcher, I have been looking for an ultraedit replacement.
I know the site says that Editing over Secure FTP is coming soon. However is there a way to open and save documents over FTP. I did a cursory search and couldn't find it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron
The finder can mount FTP directories in 10.3. Just use that.

Perhaps I'm recalling incorrectly.. but aren't those read-only? (Not at my Mac right now, so can't exactly check..)

That's right :(
Actually, I think I would prefer a mounted FTP/SFTP over a function in an editor. Seems a much more elegant solution. So, either Apple fixes this in the Finder, or someone ports LUFS or builds something equivalent.
Hi Nick, thanks. I just signed up so I am a bit late to the discussion. I am also a mac novice.
I checked the apple support site and found this:
Note: The Finder lets you connect to FTP servers with read-only access so you can copy files from the server. However, to copy files to an FTP server, you will need another program. Visit the Apple website for programs available for Mac OS X.
If you have a minute, could you tell me how to do this?
Thanks,

Why not just do an ftp mount through the finder?
Likewise for WebDav, when behind a firewall -- this is how I edit some sites, with editors that include an FTP client... in a lot of ways, in the short term, I think it's better to rely on an external transfer client, esp, with the External Editor scheme that allows an editor to issue a save command to the client in the background...
IMHO switching between an external client, and an integrated client in a separate window, are very similar... there are also a number of advantages to a specialised transport client, and it's the whole new combined Mac/Unixy mantra of small, specialised apps working well together, this is a trend reaching well back in the Mac experience...
...I'm somewhat wary of a bit of a monolithic app, and MDI (read: tabs) trends in recent times, mainly due to the increased ease of incorporating OSS libraries into OS X apps, and prominent application examples.
Having said all of that, there *are* advantages to an integrated client, namely to do with tracking file name and location changes, and such things as interacting with recently edited files, interacting with CMS and source control, to name a couple.
Hang on... doesn't integrated FTP suggest some focus on HTML editor requirements...? If so, I'd vote for more code-related work, and letting me work with my existing tools: Finder, Anarchy/FTPeel (also has FTP mirrors) CSSEdit, Photoshop, Camino etc.

I hope ftp-support is added soon, not just being able to edit a remote file, but actually being able to associate a project with an ftp account.
Is there any reason why you don't use an actual FTP application for this? Interarchy has some awesome features for this kind of work. What I do right now is this: For each Project in TextMate, I have an FTP Disk in Interarchy. When I open a Project, I mount the FTP Disk. Whenever I change something in TextMate, it's being uploaded automatically to the FTP server.
The reason I don't want to use an actual FTP application is that I don't want to incessantly switch between the editor and the ftp-application.
Using FTP disks, you don't have to. Of course, it's not quite as nice as absolute automation, but it's pretty close. And it could probably be totally automated using AppleScript by having a script that opens both the Project and the Interarchy FTP disk.
Once both are open, you don't have to do anything in Interarchy anymore. It will pick up on any changes you make in TextMate (or any other application) all by itself.
The interarchy feature you mention sounds pretty nice, and in fact I'll download Interarchy right now, because it does sound sweet, but having it integrated with the editor would be even better. By the way, something like that isn't possible with Transmit (which I currently use), right?
No, Transmit doesn't do anything like that as far as I know. FTP disks are a unique feature of Interarchy.
