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.

No, Transmit doesn't do anything like that as far as I know. FTP disks
are a unique feature of Interarchy.
