Seems like a simple enough thing to do - all you have to do is get the FTP information and put the files there for them. I would say that you can get as simple or hard as you want. Here's an idea - based on something that I did here on a .Net app;

Take a look at http://www.montgomeryacademy.org

If you browse around some of the pages, you will notice that the same general framework is in place. There's an html TABLE with a top, left, middle, right. The contents of the Middle area in the pages is actually stored in a text file that the user can upload to a pages/x subdirectory. It actually does a lot, but in general, we gave them ftp access to the directory, and they can update the content of the center page (the guts) whenever they want to. It has really been a good deal for the client and for us - the generic framework is all the same, but they can change a page by just uploading an html snippet to a file on the server.

You might look at something like this for your clients. They could run a local VFP app, and just type in some text that they want to appear in the center - then you could ftp the file to the server.

This type of thing is the extent of what they want to do at this point.

(I am using the word "Publish" somewhat loosely because of my FrontPager background). I just know in these situations that FrontPage is a little overkill for what I am thinking about.
