    what do you mean a simpler way?

    there are a few ways to do it, but they all require you to actually do something.

    you could a) give the client an ftp account with limited permissions. b) you could allow anonymous ftp access and store everything in the 'public' directory of the server. c) you could store everything in a cvs system and allow the client to check in and out files as they wish. d) you could use php, perl or python to create an user/client accessible directory tree on the server (via a web browser) and let them get files that way.

    but most of those require you to have some administration rights on the server and a little knowledge about web server administration.

    most of the php/perl options can be found open-source on hotscripts...they are pretty easy to install and use.
