It's pretty standard operation for any unix-like box if you undo the
tacked-on security for the distribution. You want the updating user
to have his home directory wherever the files should land, and the
directory should be readable by the http server.

Apache is infinitely configurable. If you want directories, set
Options +Indexes
for the scope you want. If the user already has a working home
dir elsewhere you can point a symlink from the web directory to
the place holding the files and use
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks
to make it work.
