Have you tried chmodding the www dir to be group-writable? Also, as someone else has suggested, SVN og CVS might be a good idea. They would not solve the problem you have right now, but they might help you avoid some possible problems with many people editing the same batch of files - sharing violations. What if two people start editing the same files on their own workstations, and both upload the changes? What about version control? et cetera, ad nauseam. Offcourse, non-repository development is possible, and I've done it myself without any issues whatsoever, but you're the one who decides what's best for your development.
