I am adding functionality to a DNN website that I have developed and manage. The owner of the website wants to be able to upload zip files that will consist of multiple Word Documents that are "Infra-Red Reports" that contain special "active" infra-red and real-time photos(jpg) and text of course. The average zip file may contain 8 to 20 word documents and the size of this zip file could be 50 to 200 MB. Maybe even larger.
They want to make the zip files available to their clients for download via FTP. I would like to make the upload easy for my client and the download just as easy for their clients.
I already have secure login by customer ID setup. So, my goal is to control the files that are available for download by an individual user based on their customer ID. Now I know how to setup "Protected Directories" in the control panel of my provider (3Essentials.com), but I'm looking for a simpler interface for my client to use through his browser, some functionality that is maybe incorporated into a module that automates the organization of the files and folders process.
Or should I look at writing the module myself in C#? I have some experience with C#, but I'm not sure if I want to take this kind of module on if there is something already out there.
GOAL: Secure FTP upload and download through the browser. Allow access to individual folders or files based on customer ID login.
Thank you in advance.

There are several modules around that simplify the process of helping users upload and download files. Besides the core Documents and Repository modules, look at Snowcovered for others.
Here is one example of a free module:

Bear in mind that uploading and downloading large files will bring other problems, mainly due to the bandwidth and time requirements to move the files.

Joseph,
Thank you for your reply. But I am needing more that just simple file uploading and downloading. The module should be able to allow a user to create a folder, upload file(s) to that folder, and designate download privileges for that folder for a single portal user or possibly multiple portal users that he chooses.
Also, I've been doing some reading and I do believe I would like to incorporate FTPS or HTTP security encryption (depending on which protocol I end up using), during upload and download processes.
I did not see these abilities in the Silverlight Upload module you suggested.
Thank you.
Elgin

Yes, it does seem that your requirements may require a custom module. You may, though, be able to use something that exists as a basis so you might not have to start from scratch.
