Anybody who can respond to this? Anybody found a workaround?
Personally I use a BBEdit worksheet where I store curl or scp
commands for the files I'm using. I just make the worksheet
frontmost and pick the right line to execute - down or up. That
either gives me a local file to work on or replaces an edited file
on a server. Either way I not only get the edited file where I want
it but I have backups during the process.
Once you get one curl or scp pair set up it's quite easy to copy
those and make new ones as you discover other files you want to work
with. Curl handles passwords in a $HOME/.netrc file and scp will
work with certificates in totally transparent fashion.
A line calling the bbedit tool is easily added to open a downloaded
file automatically.
Why wouldn't you open the files directly with the bbedit
tool? I use things like "bbedit sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]//etc/passwd
sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]//etc/shadow" all the time; I see no reason to manage
the local copies manually. Open Recent also works with such files.
You could do that from a BBEdit worksheet if you wanted.
I've just discovered that Open Selection doesn't work against
"sftp://www//etc/passwd"; (no quotes); I filed a bug.
