For example, a XYZ.com project could have:
local directory default... e:/projects/xyz.com/website
remote directory default...e:/bizexcellerator.com/consulting/xyz/project-files

Just imagine if I have 50 of these up, i save tons of time on switching between local and remote directories.

I sort my blog pictures chronologically and just configuring an blog/images/june/ and blog/images/july and fixing their local counterparts saves me about 1 min every day, and i know i won't upload files to the wrong directory too!
Andrewwee and Linda this is great advice. I have been using an old version of WSFTP for years simply because sometimes it's easier to just use what you're comfortable with, but the thing I hate is that I have to keep navigating to my remote directories over and over again every time I login for every site. Looks like Filezilla is the way to go. Thanks!
