Hi there,

easiest, make the programmers members of the user's groups. make sure 
the /var/www/html/dir[1|2|3] directories are g+rw , and u-rwx

You'll have to add the user/group the webserver is running as to those 
user's groups too.

I suggest you don't give full ssh access, but rather access via SFTP, 
setting the user's shell to scponly (ports tree,  shells/scponly , IIRC) 
, or even better, scponlyc (chrooted version of scponly), which is part 
of the scponly port and can be built with a special flag. The users will 
  be able to upload/download files securely, edit them in their remote 
computers and upload them again. Most good quality web editing software 
understands SFTP nowadays.
