I've played a bit with native (s)ftp support, so it won't take long -- 
though it won't be rolled into the main branch before I re-write the 
current project drawer, and I'm still not entirely settled on how to 
best handle this one.

I've also played shortly with this, I was actually awaiting six lines 
of code that Jonas mentioned on his blog, but it seems he's forgotten 
about me, so I should probably continue my own work instead...

Apple Events (especially catching the 'odoc' event) are not exactly 
nice from Cocoa applications, and it seems Transmit only supports a 
hardcoded list of editors, so I can't even test TextMate with their 
program (and a 'file' can have several "representations" when sent as 
an apple event, so testing is rather crucial).

I hear that Interarchy has the ability to mount an (s)ftp disk, similar 
to the Finder, but with write-support.

So hopefully that can serve until I get ftp done!


Kind regards Allan
