Not exactly..
The player enters the editor however they normally do (editing their
description, or whatever). Instead of using the line-mode editor, they go
to a static URL on the internal webserver (with authentication), enter
their text on a form, and submit.

Hm, this system is server-driven with some caching - runs a -lot- faster
than client-driven ftp on a slow connection, plus no explicit commands are
needed on the client side (a local editor of the user's choice magically
pops up at the right times - on exit, the string is automatically sent
back). Using an applet was an attempt to make it available to our
non-*ix-using players; a windows port is done now anyway.
Actually, this whole system is aimed more at the admin staff, since they
tend to be doing frequent editing.
I can provide protocol details or make code available if there's interest.

NNTP can handle user authentication (and most newsreaders will let you
configure who you authenticate as)
