The ftp site is for clients to download software updates. My ideal outcome
is that we have a username / password that can be given to clients and
changed as/when required to control access. Our www site is externally
hosted so cannot use that to distribute updates easily.

Not sure what you mean Marina, funny files? and RWW?
