I wrote this PERL 5.0+ CGI script because I could not find a highly configurable and simple online file editor. There are plenty of online file managers available, but I couldn't find one that let me assign specific files to specific users.

The intended purpose of this CGI is to let you edit specific files on the web server with your web browser. For example, you could login and edit the news or daily updates file on your server, while enabling another user to edit their news file and nothing else.

Features:

• Assign files to users at will.
• Fully templated interface.
• Checksum tracking to avoid over written files by two or more users.
• Scalable architecture so that more advanced features can easily be added.
• Open source -- Feel free to add features and send me code additions!

You should do something like this:
        tar -zxf sedit.tar.gz
        cd sedit
To configure the script, first edit seditfunc.lib, then:
        chmod 755 *.cgi
        chmod 755 *.pl
