I am trying to come up with a script to save my local file to a remote
server without having to type the password in each time. I tried doing
this by having the script open the file in Interarchy, but for some
reason this does not work:
tell application "BBEdit"
save front document
set thefile to file of front document
end tell
tell application "Interarchy"
open thefile
end tell
Has anyone come up with a script that would quickly save something to
a remote server (either completely within BBEdit or not)?
Unfortunately, Save to FTP/SFTP Server keeps asking me for my password
every time I select it. I cannot find a way around this, and I even
did Keychain First Aid in Keychain Access. I was hoping to find a
quick way to upload to the SFTP server without having to type in a
password every time.

I do this all day/every day. Create a bookmark for the server (BBEdit -> Setup -> Bookmarks), specifying your username/password and you should be good to go.

I see the same thing as Kyle, the original poster. Could the difference be how different servers authenticate?
If I save a particular document to a server, it asks for the password first time but not for future saves of that same document during that session. But as soon as I try to save another document to the same server, I need to re-enter my password.
This happens with bookmarked servers.
However, this is not a problem for me because I use Transmit for my FTP client and with an applescript provided by some kind soul here, a key command will upload my current document to the server.
Also, I have found that opening a new FTP browser to the server and leaving it open takes care of the problem and I can save to that server without having to enter a password.

Maybe. I deal exclusively with Linux and AIX servers and the above works for me. Also works to my Mac Mini web server (vis SFTP). On any given day I'll save files to any of 50+ servers. If I had to enter a password each time I saved a file I'd go nuts. :)

I use FTP browsers occasionally, but mostly I'm using "File -> Save (a Copy) to FTP/SFTP Server…"
I use to put in projects the files I have on FTP servers, and I'm never prompted for a password, whether I reopen or save them.
I start by saving the files to FTP for the first time from BBEdit, then I close their local versions, open the FTP versions via BBEdit's FTP browser, then drop their proxy icons into a local project, and that's it. From then on, all I have to do to open one of these files is to open the project and select the file in the sidebar. And I just have to press cmd-S to save my changes directly on the FTP.
