Can someone point me in the right direction...

I am in the business of designing logos. It can be a pain to have to send emails back in forth to get the customers their logos. I've noticed that some more well known logo sites have a login feature where customers can download their logos right off the website.

I would like to be able to design a customer's logo package and instead of dealing with 100 emails, upload the files to the server, then supply them a username and password to go online and view/download their files.

Can someone point me in the right direction for achieving this?

Thanks,

There's a couple of ways you could do that.

The other way would be to make web page and secure it with user name and a password so only the client can reach it.

There's plenty of good open source picture gallery software available that might be helpful too.

It sounds like you don't have much experience with php but you should be able to get most of what you're talking about working fairly well without having to do much coding.

You could always set up an FTP server too which is easy but clients don't tend to like it too much. They'd rather just go to a web page.

Also, a personal favorite, FileRun. It always blows my mind to see it in a browser window. :3
