There are many ways you could implement it, and the system is flexible enough to allow it, but nothing is built in. Note that with the 'Update' button, files are re-read from the file system and any new files are added to the database, so just about any way you can think of of getting the files in the right place will work, as long as the user is aware of the 'Update' button and knows when to use it.
Hope this helps,

Yeh, but even If i get ftp to work, i wouldn't be able to do file size limits, and have headers/footers added to all pages uploaded via ftp.. (i am not experienced enough with apache to do that safely). Is there any future plans of ftp support? Or custom deals (for money) that can be arranged to have that added?

I don't have plans to add FTP support in the future. This is for many reasons, the main of which is that FTP installs are all different. The key to working with the different variety of installations is to read files from the filesystem and process them accordingly, no matter how they got there. This would include deleting files that put a user over their limit, appending headers and footers to files of specific types, etc. That way the system would work for FTP, NFS, Samba, or any other way of transferring files. The best place to add specific feature requests such as 'quota support' and 'header/footer' is here (enter each as a separate request):
That way, if I don't get around to them, someone else might.

I usually am open to custom deals, but I'm too busy at the moment. Of course its Free Software, so you could hire someone else to hack on it for you, so long as the code gets fed back to me.
