I've played with it for a few hours today. It creates a few XML files on the server with the permissions and other "rules" (passwords and other keys stored as encrypted text)
It is up to the client component to enforce the rules. The connection key contains encrypted information that tells the client how to connect (FTP/network) and presumably hides this after it has been entered so there is no other way to get in unless they have the FTP or network login info.
