It depends on the FTP client.  Fetch can but Transmit can't (which is 
what I use).  There's a bit of a bug with Fetch which is why I don't 
use it (plus Transmit is a little prettier and has a few features I 
like).

That works really well!  Except for one thing, it doesn't look like 
the BBEdit method works with STDIN.  It will work for most of the 
rest though!

Thanks for the response!
