I agree. Makes it easier on the customer too. They wont get frustrated
and call, and you wont have to troubleshoot why they can't use FTP and
hear stuff like "Well it worked yesterday/I didn't do anything/I just
turned it on/etc." Meanwhile, they are running WinME with Gator, Zone
Alarm, Norton's, McAffe, Pop Up Stopper, AOL/Net Zero and a 9600 baud
line. And yes folks, I had a client with that same config.

My advice?

Eat the $100 and give them the CFFILE tool.

You're going to run into more coding/validation and (here's the $100
issue) site problem issues with a non-validating tool.

Make a good tool, give it to them for free. Use it on other sites, use
it to keep your maintenance (or reputation-bashing) costs down.

It's worth it.
