    The sandbox uses CGI or something equivalent.   
  
One more 
time:  It doesn't use CGI, or anything equivalent. 
  But once they have access they can also email, fax, mail, or pass the 
  documents in any of a number of ways.  The difference with posting files 
  in a public place is that people can infer things just by knowing of their 
  existence and there is a small additional risk of someone gaining access by 
  cracking the encryption of the file itself.   
 No, the 
difference is that Mike doesn't have to take any flak if they email, fax, mail, 
or pass the documents in any number of ways, but he does if they are 
downloaded off the web site.  That this makes no sense is beside the 
point.   
Example.  Remember what happened when Tab put the pictures of the new AVTS unit up 
for ftp?   It was really 
quite amusing to watch the email traffic jump right after they were removed 
from ftp on Bob's orders. 
  In short, encrypt the files and hide them and we've got as much security 
  as: 
   
     
  and almost as much convenience.

 I 
would prefer to have the convenience.
