15 sites with Templates Saved As Files, what is best way to move back to editing templates in database?

    I have 15 websites that have templates created and maintained using the “Save Templates As Files” option. I use CODA to edit the templates and have “Sites” setup for all the websites in CODA. I have a local Template folder that I edit and then save and upload to the Templates folder on the server. I have always edited these on one computer so it was not a problem. But now I will have to possibly edit them on my home computer as well.

    Because of file ownership permissions I think some of the sites won’t even save the templates if I try and save them in the Control Panel. And if it did work, the files would not be in sync between the Database, Templates folder and the Templates folder on the local computer.

    What are my options? I thought maybe setting up all the sites in Mountee might work. Then I could turn off “Save Files as Templates” and I would be able to connect to the sites on both computers using Mountee. Any other ideas? Thanks for any help!
