Web site development is not my strong suit. I can set things up once I know what I need to do, but often times I need help figuring out where to start. I'm in one of those situations now.
Here's my situation. I want to create a ftp directory on my website that is accessible to a client that we can use to transfer files.
I'm sure there's a simple solution for this but I don't know what it is or where to start. I did try Googling, but didn't hit anything that gave me that much help. Most of what I found was focused on serving up pages from a secure site. That's not what I need. I just want to set up an ftp area that requires a password to access and that is hidden to bots.

- My client needs to be able to both upload and download in the directory.
- The directory needs to be password protected.
- The directory needs to be inaccessible to spiders and searchbots.
- The login and password need to be separate from my login and password that I use for overall web site management. (It's a hosted domain.)
