 * Hi I would like to create a possibility for clients to access my FTP server. 
   It doesn’t need to allow them to upload anything. It should just let them view
   files and download them.
 * Note: FTP server is not the same one FTP on which I store my website.
 * Preferred solution:
    Give user a place to type text where he suppose to write
   name of folder. Once user write ‘examlpe01’ and press enter he will be shown 
   content of ‘FTP-root-folder/example01’ destination on FTP and he can proceed 
   to sub folders, but he can’t go upwards in folder hierarchy.
 * ‘example01’ folder would be created by me manually in FileZilla and then I would
   let client know that he suppose to go to mywebsite.com/clientftp and use this
   as access word.
 * Any ideas?
    I found some plugins, like ‘Mmm Simple File List’ and ‘File Away’,
   but none seams to do it.
 * Is there any plugin or other option that could do that?

 * This sounds very niche and specific to your needs which would lead me to believe
   that a plugin has not yet been built out or publicly released to perform this
   task.
 * It sounds like you’re going to have to build something out yourself to allow 
   for this functionality on your site.
