Actually, this happens when I use Transmit and choose to edit in
external editor (BBEdit of course).

It may have been a change in Transmit behavior, not a BBEdit behavior.

So, I didn't keep the FTP/SFtp info in BBEdit...

Anyway, the nice way it used to work is that I would open a file on
the remote server (From Transmit  opening into BBEdit)... On save, if
I changed the name a NEW file (with that filename) would be saved to
the remote server... this was VERY handy when doing a test to a
file...sort of a safety net.

Anyway....
