Plain text is fine. Apache doesn't really care about the format, it just

This is a bad idea IMO. It allows anyone ( with or without an account ) to
upload webpages to the server. This is as good as a back door.

OK. So this makes it pretty simple. You can just use scp for file

OK. Plain text is fine BTW. If you want to write html format, check the
web-howto page first.

I second that.
