Are these individuals going to be uploading files of their own? Otherwise,
if they are just downloading books you post, then they just need access to a
public folder. You would set your folder up as a pub folder and give folks
access to it. That's going to work pretty much the same way for any system
you look at. It all goes back to operating system level and how permissions
are granted. 

 The other alternative would be to utilize an existing web server of your
organization. You will still have to deal with permissions &c, but you may
end up isolated from the technical aspects of that. It depends on how your
web site is managed. If they are using some sort of CMS (content management
system) the web master could make this pretty easy for you. There are a
myriad of such systems: Drupal, Joomla, TikiWiki, Plone  and many many more.
Even some of the blogging systems get lumped into this category, but
technically they aren't CMS. Many--perhaps even most--web sites these days
are CMS-based.

Duyahn,

The challenge with that is I need to do the entire process independent of
sighted assistance, and we have, perhaps, 85 constituents right now who
would enjoy the ability to receive books electronically. That's why I'm
trying for other alternatives to drop Box, since in that isntance everyone
needs his or her own folder on the system.

IT's called, Dropbox. Get people sharing onoe folder or make many. The
software is a bit tricky with the graphical interface when you put in your
user name and password but, when you get past that, your raring to go.
