Uploading Documents in Admin

I've got a client that I'm making a store for. Most of the products are downloadable files (.doc and .pdf files mainly). I don't see any sort of easy way to upload files though other than using FTP.

I would rather the client not use FTP. Anyone know of a mod for doing this? I searched the downloads - and forums and didn't seem to find much. Maybe I missed it?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Re: Uploading Documents in Admin

There is not currently any method for uploading downloadable products via the admin interface. And technically it is more secure not to.

If you're concerned that your client, who probably owns the website, will mess things up and can't be trusted with their own files, then create a secondary FTP account which can only access the "download" folder, and let them upload files with FTP that way.
