Excuse me if im getting things a bit confused but I'll try anyway.
I'm setting up webserver and i want to be able to control it remotely as it'l be stuffed away in a closet. I also want to be able to upload files to the home folder so i can change the webpage on the go, and hopefully be able to upload files in general and use it as a little file store.So initially i was just going to set up an FTP server, but it seems a little smarter to use an SSH server.
So what are the advantages/disadvantages of using SSH (again, if this is completely wrong tell me!). Which is safer, and generally better for a webserver.
