Sorry, there was a very similar question asked the day before, and I 
think most people assumed the question had already been answered. In  
general, try searching the mailing list archives before posting. The 
same questions often come up more than once. Here is my earlier reply:

You may want to look at webmin and virtualmin (webmin.com). Webmin is a
web control panel for your system's services/configuration. It comes
with usermin, which allows users to check mail, upload/download files,
change their password, etc. VirtualMin is a Virtual Webhost control
panel. It allows you to set up domains, correctly configuring virtual
hosted mail, websites, ftp permissions, etc., and provides a control
panel for the site owner to, e.g., create new email accounts, password
protect directories, etc.

Webmin is available from the Dag RPM repository (wieers.com).
