    At the moment I've created client folders on our server space and upload files through FTP.

    Instead of sending loads of links, I'll create a job-specific HTML page with all the work listed on. From each of those links I'll upload any updated visuals or files etc so that both the client and I have complete record of what we've sent and how many revisions they've asked for. It definitely brings to light how many updates and amends you have to make/get signed off.

    Bit of a ramble I know. So in short:
    - Create Client Folders on your serverspace ie (www.yoursite.com/clients/client...
    - Then create any job specific folders within that client folder
    (www.yoursite.com/clients/client...
    - Then create a HTML file that will show a list of all updated links ot visuals files etc.

    It could be better by providing a layer of security, but the way I see it, unless someone knows the exact URL for other jobs you've created, they can only see their project link.

    Make sense? probably not :-)
