I also recommend Cyberduck.       It basically gives you a textmate  
icon in your ftp gui window, which, when clicked on, will launch a  
file in a temporary folder.    Whenever you save this temporary file,  
it will automatically upload through cyberduck to the server.    I  
recommend using growl as well, so that this process isn't totally  
invisible to you... sometimes it can take a few seconds to upload,  
and it's nice to be notified when it's done.

The only snag I've run across is that I often work on project-wide  
changes, and using cyberduck in this way keeps you from using  
textmate's wonderful project support features.
