I'm assuming that I'll be able to depend that it's trivial for a box-admin to create a copy of the directory on the server and then drop the following files into their respective locations, removing the old versions, is this correct?

I'd really rather not futz with the FTP server if I don't have to.)

Yes I can take care of it.

But it's similarly trivial (and customary for that matter) for the release team leader(s) and possibly other team members to be given access to the 'updates' account on the server which is in turn given write access to relevant release directories in the FTP site so you can do it yourself.
