Thanks for the response Earnie. I have already implemented what you suggested and it works very well.
However, my client wishes to utilize ftp for the purpose of uploading an downloading large files.
How can I integrate ftp uploads and downloads into a drupal site?

Hello Guys,
I am developing a Drupal powered website for a client and they have requested ftp capabilities for certain document uploads and downloads.
Is this possible in Drupal? If yes, how can I go about it?
The ability to upload files is a core built-in module. There may be other modules to help manage the uploaded files; see drupal.org/project/modules and search for upload. You may want to create a content type that contains a field (assuming you're using D7) that allows for uploading the file and associate it to a node that gives a description of the file.
FTP is a server operation to low level port 21, not a Drupal thing and something you will need to confirm and work out with your hosting provider. Once you get FTP setup on the server, then there are several options to serve up the FTPed content through Drupal. A quick search of drupal modules pulled up http://drupal.org/project/filefield_sources

And you set the ftp user jailed directory to the appropriate sites/mysite/files/ftp directory and then server the files from there. You may want to put the files into a different directory then create a cron process to create a node and move the files to an appropriate sites/mysite/files directory and store the location in a field in the node.
