Hi Gustav:

Why not try FileZila...many of my clients use this package because it is so
secure. (http://filezilla-project.org)

Hi John

Too bad.
Could you persuade the client to send the file via FTP to your server? Then
you could have a folder change service running picking up the uploaded file
and pass it on to be processed.

It appears that ordinarily they get a list of zips directly from their
client, in a CSV.

you are not in the mood for creating your first web application, the simple
method is to create a winform in a small Windows app which you leave running
on a (virtual) machine for which you grant the client remote access. A
splendid and free method for this is to use LogMeIn Free.
