[thelist] allowing users to use FTP to download a client's executable from their web site

A client emailed me the following message this morning:

"We need to be able to have folks download the installation from our site. =
(I
think it's FTP capability since that's what 2 folks have phrased it.)  How =
do
we do this?  The reason is that for some folks, they cannot receive large
files."

My initial reaction was shock. Wouldn't this entail giving users permission=
 to go into our server and take any files they wanted? Or, is this a functi=
on that can be done using Anonymous FTP (which I'm not familiar with)?

Ideas/suggestions?
