I have a small mail and web server which is used by some paying customers and also some friends. It currently is running Mandriva Server 3 which is getting old and I am in the throws of setting up a new server using Centos 5.2.
Most of the web based stuff that I serve is based on Joomla but one customer has had a professional web designer create a new site for him which I have uploaded and all is working just fine. I have never allowed FTP, SFTP nor SSH access to the server for security reasons (other than myself) but this customer wants to directly edit his new web site from time to time. I don't run C Panel (can't afford it) nor can I run ISPConfig which has some features missing such as mailing lists which a couple of clubs I host use. I am looking for suggestions as to what members might think would be an easy but secure way for this customer to do what he wants to do - make changes to his web site directly on the server. I run name based virtual domains and I guess I could set all other folders which other customers use with chmod 700 and perhaps set up his folder as 750 and make his username part of the apache group. I would then make his home area his web page folder but I am looking for a better way - if there is one. Would webdav be the ticket although I have never successfully set this up or is it just as easy for him to use an FTP client using SFTP to access his web root and make changes?
