[users@httpd] Development access to web site

Hi guys

One of the freebsd servers for which I am responsible hosts
a number of virtual web sites where development is only
carried out by users on our internal network who log in via
the system consol to maintain the sites.

I have not spent all that much time working on apache for
many years so I am not up to date. The server just works..
does a great job and I guess this is the first time I have
needed to make any changes for months - so please do not
assume any particular level of knowledge in any reply :-)

I am suddenly faced with an urgent need to allow an
externally located developer access to one of our virtual
domains to edit and maintain that site. He will need to
access the files and modify them.

We are running apache 2.

Is anyone in a position to suggest please a reasonably
secure and easily implemented method of fulfilling this need
for a single virtual domain?

Currently the server does not allow external ftp or telnet
access and I would prefer to keep it that way.

Thanks

David Southwell

You could have him use a VPN connection, or even an SSH
connection.  That might take care of it.
