Again, to make it clear, if I'd have to vote on an (S)FTP integration, 
I'd vote against it, Transmit, Fugu, Interarchy, etc. are ok for me.
But I'd love to be able to make a "remote project", or even better: to 
include remote and local files in a project.
Why?
Because:
It's easier to have a drawer opened than 7 windows.
I could use diff on those files.
I could use "find in project".
Because of all the other project's niceties: Tabs, etc.
Etc, etc.

Now, I don't know if this would implies  an (S)FTP integration or not.
I think it's better to keep things separated...
