Um, i had a look at the FTP options, (I honestly have no idea about the security implications) but i saw only directory functions for the server.

Or maybe, i am just thinking aloud, you need to write some javascript that explores the directory on the local PC (can javascript see them?) and sends the list of names in a hidden formfield, with that you could try to make a form page that you send to them, with the file fields already filled out, and that is then automagically submitted immediately.
