I tend to have a junk account for FTPing (with stupid password) when I
have no alternative.
I configured the FTP server to set permissions to 660, files are
uploaded as user+group FTPUSER.
I'm a member of the group FTPUSER, so can delete, read and move the
files straight out of the FTPUSER's junk directory. This may require an
extra account for every user - which could be an administrative
nightmare.

This is the best compromise.... I want to get FTP set up over SSL - not
found any HOW-TO's on that yet (but haven't looked hard). It would be
impossible to do

Unless those on windows are running SSH servers scp doesn't help.
(I hope I'm wrong- it'd be useful for me!). I'm confident that it's a
download only job.

Uploading files with PHP over HTTPS is the same as HTTP.
