We created a site a few months ago, and the client has now asked if we can create a hidden page onto which they can load PDFs etc, then send their client a link to download the file(s). It sounds much like Yousendit/Mailbigfile but they don’t want to use a commercial service. I’m guessing that it can’t be a single page as they might need to upload different documents for different clients where they need to be kept separate from each other. In fact, as I write this, it’s starting to sound more like an FTP site than anything.
How would I go about creating something like this?
If it is just PDFs that they want to supply their clients, then they can do that with an FTp app.
They can logon to their server, create a folder called ‘clients’ then folders inside the clients one for each of them. Then they can save the PDFs into each folder. The url can be supplied to the clients.
How about a WebDAV page(s) with a username and password. Each page will have it’s own username & password and you can link to as many items as they want.
