I am looking for a PHP based CMS (or blog system) that supports:

You can stop looking right there. Static output has long since gone
out of fashion. Some Perl applications (MovableType, Discus, and a
few others) still use it only because they were initially designed
that way back when MySQL 3 wasn't around, so they stored their data in
flat files rather than databases. The rest of the world has moved on
to a combination of dynamic output and caching... Some systems (such
as Drupal) also have granular cache control (the administrator can
select which components' output it to be cached and which is to be
always generated dynamically) and throttling (certain components may
be designated as non-critical and not executed during peak-load
periods).

2) remote publishing through FTP, SFTP or SSH (like Blogger)
I may be wrong on this, but as far as I know, Blogger is the only
application that does it...

3) Different templates for different parts of the system (ie:
category template, main index template, search template,
like Movable Type does; Blogger seems to just have one
template)
4) Free (or low price for multiple installations)
5) One central installation for multiple sites
WordPress MU seems to fit the bill on these...

Hi NC and all folks,

Thanks for suggestion.

Static output is critical for me because many users, college students,
do not have access to either PHP or MySQL in their college campus/
department personal webspace. Most universities only permit pure
static content (HTML, image, flash, etc) for student web space.

FTP/SFTP/SSH access is a MUST-HAVE feature. Since we want a central
installation that supports students from all departments.


You aren't going to find a CMS which doesn't depend on dynamic content. That isn't how they work.

If you want static output, have them use ftp/sftp, etc.
