There are a dozen ways to do this. One is to uplodate with WebDAV over
HTTPS, which is built into Apache on CentOS and has plenty of usable
clients such as lftp. Another is simply to designate a directory under
/var/www/html/, owned by you personally, that the apache user can
browse. That give you direct upload access as yourself.

Right, but giving myself a directory doesn't allow me to put files other places in /var/www/html....

My goal here is to be able to use my iPad over my ssh port to pull down files, edit them and save them back. Also, upload new files when I am at my desktop.

With /var/www/html owned by root:root and me loggin in as 'jason' I cannot accomplish this. I don't allow root logins over ssh...

So I think that something needs to change. 

Would I change /var/www/html/<my domain> owner to myid:mygroup? I am not sure the famifications of this and how Apache would behave, etc.
