If you are asking, "Are there any web-based text file editors," the answer is, of course, yes, although why a telnet/SSH session and pico, joe, or vi won't do I couldn't imagine.
Among other reasons, because giving shell access to relative randoms a recipe for disaster. You might as well hand out the root password while you're at it.

It's hardly the same thing, and you certainly know it; you're throwing up a smoke screen. If you lease virtual domains, the user should have FTP and shell/SSH access - that's what they're paying you for. To equate being a user on a machine to running root is asinine, unless of course the root user doesn't have the ability to set up his machine correctly. In that case, the root user shouldn't be leasing space on his machines in the first place. Charlie
