Why would you want to log in as root anyways? Your wife dows have
an ftp account right? And I assume that this account is "not" root,
if not create her one. Then with that user, give her permission to
write in her directory, just no toher permission given to that
account. Call her say user "wife" in group "http", then set it up.
