Okay - I'm guessing those sites are the ones in your .sig

Right - you want students to have some strange kind of point-and-squirt
web page generation util?  What is that likely to teach them?

Actually - I understand the "no FTP" desire... here I have an apache box
with samba running... each student has a smb share that they can write
to.  The sole reason for doing this is that the students know how to
copy files and folders in windows explorer (its a unit standard they've
already done) and FTP was not a component of the "write a web page" unit
standards they were doing.

Please - if you don't want FTP, what other upload methods are there? 
Can you list them?  The only one I can think of is POST to send a file
to an existing web page...  Is that where the lists confusion comes
from?

In my opinion the Schools Server is bollocks.  It started as a service
to schools, and has now become commercialised.  For the costs they're
now charging, you can run your own web server at home or school (and
they will link to your site regardless of where it is served from.)
