Actually, Ftp open/save is built into BBEdit  [ ver 8.2.6 on OSX 10.4.7 ]
In the file menu:
Open from Ftp folder...
Save to Ftp folder
Save copy to Ftp folder...

You can setup all of your ftp folders and manage the site within BBEdit.

Check out the scripts menu:
Change the default web site
Open site Local Folder...
Make new personal web site

The search and replace will work across server folders since you can make a
list of folders at any URL, then unleash the BBEdit tool of your choice.

You can even preview in BBEdit multiple .html docs (see the Markup menu)
that will dynamically update as you type or paste code (don't have to save
to see the effect, just keep making changes, and it keeps updating), then
save to the server.
