To me, it would come down to WTF you are using these custom things for. Without that detail, I have no idea what would be better.
Pretty much this. Are the specifically for the PBX? Or are they just being put there to be sent over the web?
If it is the latter case, put it all in a different directory outside of /var/www/html and then add said directory to the apache conf files.

Or better yet get it off your PBX and onto a dedicated webserver.

We're querying a file in this location to get some information from the PBX such as current calls, queue information, etc for an internal piece of software. It doesn't have to be in that directory, so I'll go down t he path of just moving the files and referencing them. Hopefully FreePBX wont overwrite the apache conf file when upgraded/reloaded.

It probably will. There is an includes directory in the default conf somewhere, I don't know where, that references a directory without configurations in it. That's where you want to setup a new file/configuration.

Why not push it directly to where you need it?

You mean push the original files in question to the PBX via script?

I thought that they were already on the PBX. Push them to somewhere else via script is what I was thinking.

They (apparently) have custom scripts that pull data from Asterisk for use elsewhere. These scripts would have to reside on the Asterisk box.
Of course they could rewrite things to remotely connect to asterisk and pull the data also, but I personally have no experience in doing that.

Correct, or another alternative would be to just write a script that copies the updated files from a source server, to the destination PBX(s). That would eliminate the need for the user fred to have to do anything at all.

Understood. Was thinking that instead of saving the data locally, they could immediately push it elsewhere so that the perms wouldn't be an issue.
