Sharing originals with my client?

I want to make it really easy for a client of mine to download originals from my private gallery. I'm not sure what platform/browser s/he is using. Is there a canned set of instructions I can send? (I know what to tell someone using firefox. I know what to tell someone competent to compose a template and an image number to make a new URL. I don't know the easy cross platform instructions.)
If not now, when?

    Turn on originals under "gallery tools" "customize gallery". Then in the
    photobar flyout there will be a save (original) icon. If the gallery is just private
    anyone with the direct link can get to it. Might want to add a password also.

    Other styles then Smugmug should have a link for the original.

    Thanks, that's great! Is there an equally easy way for them to download different sized versions?

    Not all platforms/browsers have right click like this. At least that's what I think. Am I wrong?

    An alternative is to enable digital downloads in your pricing, they can then download, 1Mpix, 4 Mpix and original photos. Downside is that is a bit fiddly and they have to pay something (even just 1 cent.)

    what if you only wanted specific people to be able to d/l originals? not private or password protected galleries... i know there's not... :D

    i think it's be pretty cool to have a password box somewhere within a gallery that'd allow originals to be displayed for that person(s) with the password ONLY.
