    Not really sure if this is the right place so sorry if i'm wrong!

    Hi, I have a client who wants to be able to offer HIS clients the facility to go to part of his website in a browser (for example) and be able to view their artwork he is currently working on plus the facility to be able to download it and vice a versa

    The only way i can think of is to use an FTP program but many of his clients are not that web savvy

    He himself has been to websites and was able to upload a huge artwork file so i know its possible, just dont know how

    Anyone with any ideas on this?

    Thanks for any help

    Well how about a private section of the website, which requires a username & password. Once the client logs in, there are several web pages with link and images of each product, which will allow the client to download what they want :).

    Hi and thanks for that

    That would work but forgive my dumbness today but how would the client download them?

    Thanks again

    You can buy PHP scripts that will do this whole thing for you. Check out www.hotscripts.com - I bought one there for a client that handles all of that, and has a slick interface.

    I can't remember the name of the script I used, otherwise I'd tell you! :)

    Depends on your connection speed, whats the average size of a document?
