[BlueOnyx:06477] suphp - via SSH and multiple sites?

[Jeff Jones]

This one really has me stumped - could really use a solution to this one guys please!!!

I have a BX server - that is hosting 10 plain and simple Wordpress sites - all ours, and with the same developers uploading code for all sites over the course of a day.

We can not use FTP/ FTPS due to NAT / Firewall restrictions with our setup - SFTP/SSH is fine though.

We are unable to find a workable setup with BX where we can update wordpress via SFTP/SSH, without us having to go in an chown all the files on a site to apache.

We have tried the suphp function - but it seems this only works with the siteadmin - we do not want to have to create 10 siteadmins, and regardless - the site admin can only upload files via FTP - not SFTP (via SSH). Annoyingly - siteadmins can not SFTP/SSH.

What we really want is to get suphp working with one account - like the server admin account.

Does anyone know how this is possible?

We could then use this one 'global' account and update all 10 sites via SFTP.

Cheers,

Jeff
