I don't know exactly what you're asking for, but I have to say that MY server won't ever expose FTP on an open port. And restarting my server is a *big* deal since it terminates all processes (of which web server is only one) so I try to never do it unless I must.
I love to use SSH because it's far more secure and it lets me manage the server from anywhere. I can update the Linux distro, manage my webserver, check my RAID array, etc. all from the comfort of a text window. Believe me, there is no greater power with any other method. The fact that you can deploy web2py on a darned USB STICK and use it anywhere put it in a whole category of "portable" all by itself. I keep a complete development environment with a mirror of my server on a USB stick do develop the next version of the website on. When I get it stable and I'm ready to update it, I use rsync to move the changes to the production server and it's done!
