It sounds like I could use WebDAV in conjunction with > subversion or git. I'll look into that. The reason I mentioned webdav(s) earlier was because you can have granular= =20 control of what each user can access. You need specify only what=20 directory/file you want them to be able to access and they shouldn't have=20 access to anything else. Also, you don't need to give them shell access - which I find=20 (psychologically) more reassuring. ;-) =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2078840.48940WgqJD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk6I6p4ACgkQVTDTR3kpaLa9wwCeNE/toLmtROqXFoq5WPhOLKbx /q4AoKhWk+YR54V8ynL22+58LrhZXSps =vOeO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2078840.48940WgqJD--
