SFTP works just fine but the problem is that I get tired of having to type [bash]$ sftp chrisaiv@blah.com:/directory/subdirectory/ so instead I've made an alias. First things first, in terminal using Textmate, type [bash]$ mate ~/.bash_alias. Next paste the code below. After you save the file, type [bash]$ ~/.bash_profile and past the second line of code. After you restart your terminal, you should only have to type the alias nickname and whala!
