.htaccess to manage client's FTP folders [message #1941]

I am over my head and I'd love some help.

I have developed a site using wordpress 3.0. http://Maltajo.com

In addition to the site my client would like a restricted FTP access area where he and his clients can share files.

My current solution consists of using Fetch to create a folder in the root directory called public_ftp and within that folder I create a folder for each client. Using the hosts control panel and I create a new username and password protected FTP account for each client relative to the created folder. But I cant see the files directory and the wordpress theme is gives an "not found" message.

ex. http://maltajo.com/public_ftp/clientA/

I'm not convinced that this is the best solution so I am open to ideas. ...but if this the way I need to do it, I believe that I'll need to modify the .htaccess file to allow the the directory to be visible and for the wordpress theme go away.

Will I need an index file in each folder so the page will be look like it is part of the regular site.

I really am confused by this. Your help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,
tom
