Client Area (video share)

Client Area - Outline This area of the site will be used to share media and files between doghouse and its clients. Files will usually be no bigger than 300MB but very occasionally a need for file up to 2GB will be required. We would like to have 1 basic layout for watching or downloading video. Each Client should be able to access their mini-site with the use of a unique Username and Password. An easy to follow template for drag and dropping of files so clients can easily upload their files and media to their minisite. Login in for Clients ON ENTERING THE CLIENT AREA OF THE SITE: A login page should appear asking for a unique username and a password for that username. This should easily be manageable by doghouse staff so that we can create, change and update passwords and usernames form a remote log in by an administrator. ON ENTERING THE CLIENT MINI-SITE We would like a basic set up for this that will allow clients to either view footage, download footage or download/upload files. An idiot proof layout would be perfect. So for clients downloading a file only Mark and I were thinking at the top of the page that opens a large file icon with text saying (to download your files to your desktop click here (on a button that says “Download” and the download will begin automtically) and once the download starts a clock or timeline graphic appears showing that it is downloading (a bit like “transfer Me”). And we would like the reverse for uploading, so again a file icon with instructions that say “drag you files into this file to start your upload” and the clock/timeline idea again as we find so many people ring up saying nothing is happening when in fact it is, so a graphical representation that upload/download is occurring would be great. This will stop multiple copies and our server getting clogged up. For viewing and downloading videos we want two simple buttons, one to say “Watch”, and the other to say “Download” (you will need this option to watch you video on the move). Simply click the button you wish to use and it starts you on the right track, with download another graphical representation that something is happening would be ideal. LOG OUT OF CLIENT AREA If I client leaves their page they need to be logged out automatically. If a client forgets their password there should be an option to have it e-mailed to their account so we would suggest the username being their e-mail address.
