I found this awesome script (here) that lets you delete, rename, move, copy, download, and edit files on your server without using FTP. It's a simple script (a single file) that gives you a ton of power. There's also an inherent danger in this because it allows anyone to access and edit your files, so you should do something to password protect it. I would recommend putting in a password protected folder or using the password protection script I wrote about in previous post. I have the source hosted here (renamed with a .phps extension because you can seriously do some damage to my server if it had a .php extension). #technology

	I setup Apache to password protect my Subversion repository. You can actually password protect any directory or file Apache hosts. It uses something like one of those .htaccess files. While I was at it, I also setup SSL on it. If you're accessing your files remotely, it's a good idea to have the channel encrypted. Otherwise if someone is arp-spoofing on the network, they could grab your password and files very easily.
