More professional solution Aug 6, 2009

I'm also looking into the problem of sending large files to clients and I am aware that there are services like yousendit.com. However, I do have confidentiality concerns with these services...

I'd like a more professional (looking) solution. I have some clients who ask me to send them an old translation again. The ideal solution for me would be something like a file server, but located on my website. Preferably my client can login and simply download the files I prepared for him.... See more

Perhaps even the most simple solution would be to make a separate folder for each client and put a password on that folder (and shield it from Google). However, I have no idea to do that!

Any suggestions? ▲ Collapse

www.sendspace.com - you can track and edit the files you upload Aug 6, 2009

I haven't used it for a while, but after a short research I choose www.sendspace.com when I needed it.
They also offer a kind of upload tool, not a real FTP, but very similar.
Speaking about privacy, Samuel already described a good way. You can even password protect e.g. Word files.

I use my own ftp server (FIle-Zilla) Aug 7, 2009

I use a File-Zilla server on my own computer and as I have a dynamic IP, I use DynDNS to get a fixed domain name. You can get both, Filezilla and DynDns service, for free.
