Gil: I have an ftp account and have used it for downloads. In other words, my customers can download zipped and encrypted files to their computers. I haven't set it up the other way, although I have wanted to for some time. One of my planned projects with Python is to create a password protected upload page. If there is something already out there that will do that, I would be interested in looking at that, too.
