Well, I've found a temporary solution. I'm opening the SA-MP server while the folder is unlocked, so it can interact with announce and samp-npc. I'm locking it back after startup, but I didn't test if announce still runs after. Last time when I checked, the server wasn't on the Internet listing.

It needs to keep loading it so you're likely going to be unable to do that. A simple solution is as I told you use a control panel like TCAdmin or a free one there's a bunch of them which will allow those people to control their own servers without needing remote access and instead just FTP.

Also a easier thing to do would be to learn how to use the shell on Linux and host your servers that way because it's a whole lot safer than windows when it comes to granting shell access than remote access, but of course there's still a risk and the best solution in your case is as stated using a control panel and not even allowing any kinda remote access.

I mean I could only guess a hand full of people require the remote access because you can easily setup a FTP access for file access itself what exactly is very important enough that you need to lock your server files completely? Is your account files not under mySQL?
