Brian,
I used this at a time when I had enough space at the ISP, and I incorporated a password, but for any number of image files or for multiple clients, this is simply too restrictive, which was why I changed to FTP. OS X has several FTP programs to allow two way access to a designated area of your own hard discs, and with Panther I succeeded with PureFTPd. From the clients point of view it need be no more complicated than to use a Web Browser that has an FTP client, Explorer 5.2 has, but in trying with Safari I met with difficulty.
You can then let the client collect his files in his own time, provided that you have a permanent presence via a broadband connection.
I would hope that the number and quality of such programs to assist digital photographers getting their images to clients will only get better in the very near future.
