The reason I mentioned webdav(s) earlier was because you can have granular 
control of what each user can access.  You need specify only what 
directory/file you want them to be able to access and they shouldn't have 
access to anything else.

Also, you don't need to give them shell access - which I find 
(psychologically) more reassuring.  ;-)
