TextMate saves folding info using extended attributes.

If you use AFP or SMB then Apple will simulate xattr support even for  
the remote file system, so it should work.

If you use ExpanDrive or similar, they do support xattr, but I don’t  
think they store it on the remote server.

If you use a dedicated (s)ftp application with “Edit in TextMate” they  
download the file, ask TextMate to edit it, and then upload it again.  
It would be up to this (s)ftp application to preserve the extended  
attributes of the file (e.g. upload it to the server).
