I want a specific authorized user to be able to upload, view and download files on a predetermined page on my website. Problem is, that the files will be rather large, and the only way my webhost will allow such large uploads is by ftp. Using the standard upload method is not allowed for such files.

Is there a way to do this? Are there other ways of users uploading larger files without my webhost blocking it?

Is there a feature whereby a user could use some type of interface within my drupal website to upload files to the webhost on which my drupal site is residing?

I'm searching around for similar FTP features.
I've already been testing the Image Import feature which is part of the Image module http://drupal.org/project/image

This allows batches of images to be imported from a directory on the server. So it needs a user to drop the files using FTP first, but then you get a nice interface inside Drupal to view those files and turn them into Image nodes.

I'd be interested to learn about other methods. I'm specifically looking for a user to FTP into a container that is then visible for specific a specific user. The Image Import module is set it up to view a single directory.
