Yeah, it's exactly what you think.
OneFileCMS is just that. It's a flat, light, one file CMS (Content Management System) entirely contained in an easy-to-implement, highly customizable, database-less PHP script.
Coupling a utilitarian code editor with all the basic necessities of an FTP application, OneFileCMS can maintain a whole website completely in-browser without any external programs.

Features
- Validating, semantic, and commented markup. Tested in FF, Safari, and IE7/IE8.
- Small footprint (24 kb)
- Possibly the easiest installation process ever
- All the basic features of an FTP application like renaming, deleting, copying, and uploading
(Of course, for more complex processes like batch renaming or mass uploads/deletions, you're going to want to break out an actual FTP program.) - Gracefully degrading CSS and Javascript
- 100% re-brandable with title/footer text stored in variables and a modifiable filename
- Externally hosted CSS and images for smaller file size
(But you can switch it out to your own stylesheet if you need to!) - Smart alert if you try to leave without saving your edits
Requirements
- UNIX/Linux host, Apache
- PHP5 (PHP4 untested)
- File permission privileges
More info... Check with your hosting company if you're not sure if you have these. If you don't have a host, I recommend DreamHost. They have an intuitive interface, fast support, competitive pricing, and reasonable uptime.
