Hi there

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to update the files
 on a web-server through a firewall without having to
 sit at the servers console or using a write protected HD
 updated on the inside of the firewall ?

I am thinking of a solution where files being updated very often
 on the "inside" are shipped every 5 minutes or so out to the 
 server automatically. But what protocol would be the most 
 appropriate to do the transport ? FTP ? UUCP ? Something else ?

Security of the web-server is important, therefore some kind of
 authorization mechanism is needed. Probably that would be 
 Kerberos or a smart-card solution, any thoughts on this ?

One final question: are there currently any servers supporting
 the PUT method ?

Thanks very much for your time   /   Frode
