I need to grant my client access to a folder buried deep on the server

I need to grant my client access to a folder buried deep on the server hosting their site…and just one particular folder. I don’t want them to mess with any other files on the server.

Essentially I need them to be able to download an image from that folder.

I’m trying not to overcomplicate things for my client. I’m afraid I might scare the client by suggesting they use an FTP manager like FileZilla. (It might not be intimidating to us but it might intimidate my client).

Does anyone have any suggestion as to how I could handle this?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

@Sup3rkirbyDec 20.2011 — Right now off the top of my head, an easy solution that wouldn't be to 'scary' would be creating a sub-domain linked to this particular folder. A user loading this sub-domain would take them directly to this folder(and files contained within) but they would not see or be aware of any parenting folders.

After reading your post I realized I am way over-thinking this.

Thanks for the good idea. ?
