Well, there are a number of excellent free SFTP programs.

I think if we are talking about individuals and not companies, then 
it doesn't have to replicate exactly. It has to make it possible and 
maybe even better. I'm already working with TM differently than I 
worked with BBEdit, Pepper, Alpha, vi and ed.

But on the topic of workflow. I'm still trying to visualize the 
important aspects of, say, using BBEdit's SFTP in your workflow. What 
are the particular things that are handy?  I seem to remember that if 
you SFTP'ed a file, then it would be remembered in your recent items 
with its full location. That was handy.

best wishes, Eric
