My host is currently using UNIX servers, and the only thing I had to do was to ask for a password protected folder , I chose the name of the Folder, the login and password and it was set up by them. I can ask for as many Password protected folders as I might need, like one for each client, I have now just one, called "Docs" and is working well for me. I upload and then people get a link in the form www.jorgeparra.com/Docs/Client Name/ images.sit [You can test by using only www.jorgeparra.com/Docs and you will get the dialog box requesting user name and password] As I said, I add an additional password to the encrypted file, adding one further level of security to the data. I submit server's login and password from one e-mail account and the password for the compressed files by another email account. Clients LOVE this paranoid thing. However, I understand some FTP apps may provide some password protection features during FTP activity. I have not explored this option, since as I said, I rather keep my access to my server only to myself.
