"Save Remotely As" vs "Upload"
I've been trying out Komodo for a few days and one thing keeps bugging me. The only way that I've found to transfer my work to the server is to use the "Save Remotely As..." function. Then as I continue to work, Komodo is making changes to the remote copy of the file without updating the local copy. When I close out Komodo and return to the local file later it is out of date.
What I'd like to see is a way to continue saving all work-in-progress changes to the local file and then allow me to upload the file as I need to. Am I missing something in Komodo that will allow me to do this?
I'm in a single developer environment and don't see the need to complicate things by going to CVS. And I'm not sure that would change anything about this issue anyway.

You might want to look into using rsync, there is an article about it here: http://community.activestate.com/faq/using-rsync-with-projects
I'm used to using NuSphere which allows associating a server / upload path with a project for remote publishing. Being able to either right click on a file and select upload or Ctrl+Shift+S to save remotely is one of the best things I've found in an IDE for working speed.
I normally use a SVN repos for collab and a test server or two, exporting directly from the repository to the live installation and ftp uploading to the test server only, so rsync won't work for us.
Just to let you know that we are looking into adding this feature to Komodo, though I cannot yet give an estimated arrival date.
The remote file API's are there for the impatient, if someone wishes to make an extension to support this, you can take a look at the remote drive tree extension for ideas:
