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

I appreciate the suggestions. I can write a canned shell script for
