    I think the suggestion in the Getting Started Guide, is to use the root user to upload files to the nginx site(s), which is pretty easy to do.

    The web site's files are owned by nginx:nginx, and I was wondering what the best way was to have an alternate, non-root, user have write access a site's public directory.

    In the past, I would probably just give the nginx group write permissions to the site's directory, and add the alternate user to the nginx group. Is that the best way, or is there a better way with centminmod?

    yeah nginx already has write permissions to the domain's site directories, so all you need is to add an alternate user to the nginx group. Just note that there is currently no per domain/site isolation, so that alternate user does have access to all sites created via Centmin Mod menu option 2 and not just the single domain.
