You're welcome. Finally some feedback, at least! I already thought it was
worthless... :-/

Absolutely, although I recommend fcgid over fastcgi (maybe you just mixed
that up?) because of its license (iirc mod_fastcgi is non-free).

How about FTP over SSL? I think this is supported by much more clients, and
it's pretty easy to set up with vsftp (I only used this one so far).

I'm also thinking about setting up a WebDAV server which runs as CGI and can
be used with mod_fcgid as well. mod_dav will not work because it can't run
with suexec, but maybe the CGI version might work...(?)

Anyway, I didn't try this yet and won't do it until end of year
(holiday!! :-)) but here is the CGI implementation which I found:

http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/netlib/webappls/webdav.cgi
http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/netlib/webappls/webdav

(the latter one is an improved version with fixes for MacOS, but you might
need to check both of them...)
