Apache Permissions

[Mitch Wiedemann]

One suggestion:

Try setting your Document Root directory permissions = root.root 755
Create a "web" user and group, and set all contents of your Document 
Root = web.web 755.
Give the "web" user password to both developers so that they can ftp 
into your (chroot jailed) document root as "web".

This method is simple, and the owner/permissions won't get screwed up.  
It's not scalable (to more users) in the slightest though.  With more 
than one or two developers, you'd be asking for trouble.

Others will probably have a more sophisticated methods...
