A friend of mine inadvertently mentioned FTP while we were discussing
this one day.  I think the best solution to my problem is to use some
PHP (or other language) FTP client.

  This way I can securely allow access to a home directory.  I don't
want to allow direct FTP access for various reasons but through a web
interface I am keen on the idea.

  Using a web FTP client that is locked to a specific server they can
provide their username/passwd without any requirement for chrooting
vhosts, etc.  I think this is the way I will go.

  Thanks very much to everybody who helped me out with suggestions.
I'll probably use a lot of these at some time, anyway ;)
