i would suggest looking at copperfasten developed by menlo park
technologies in galway. http://www.copperfasten.com/ they have a
windows client and servers for nt, linux, solaris and tru64. and there
is a command line client for linux/unix.

it will not only allow secure updating, but allows users to delegate
sections of the website to others (w/o admin intervention), it will
monitor content and can remove/move and replace files that have changed
w/o authorisation, and can do a form of version control.
