Why not have the web site serve the files? You can set your web server 
mime types to feed PDFs and the browser will then be able to interpret 
and download that type of file. Same with your images. You could 
compress the images to ZIP, for instance, and then link a low-res 
preview on a web page to the zipped file. That would be downloaded via 
the link and decompressed on the user end. IMO that would be quicker 
than FTP and use less bandwidth. Someone else may have a more 
elegant solution.
