Editing remote files over SSH, using TextMate?
I use Fetch and TextMate for just such tasks. Fetch can be set to use TextMate as an external editor and can even automatically open files in TextMate by double clicking.
Saving the window in TextMate automatically pushes the file back to the server. Of course you would have to commit the changes on the server at a later time.
I'm sure most Mac FTP clients could do the same.
OK - here is the one that works on Mountain Lion.
- Go to http://osxfuse.github.com/
- Install FUSE for OS X
- Install SSHFS for OS X
- Then the following commands on your terminal:
mkdir /Volumes/SSHFS/usr/local/bin/sshfs username@host:/path/to/dir /Volumes/SSHFS
Done.
I would also recommend using the ReMate plugin as pointed out by another user to prevent TextMate from beach-balling every time you refocus it. Link:

The best thing would be using TextMate's rmate script, follow the link and you'll find the instructions bellow, I recommend it since it will make your life easier and handle all the Nitty-Gritty.
