There's got to be some way of doing it.  Before putting these files on
this linux box, we were uploading them to Webjump via FTP and it did all
of that for us.  Basically what I need is for the user (webmaster) to be
able to FTP into the system, upload the files, and the site is updated. 
But unless the files are +x for the world, they won't be visible to web
surfers.

I'm the guy in the "Anti-DVD CCA" shirt and Copyleft hat tomorrow if
anyone has ideas!!  ;-)
