I am not sure if this is possible, but instead of having them ftp the
file back, why not have them feed it into another web service on you
website over SSL? This way the information is both secure and already
in your database to be acted upon.
Otherwise, I would suggest setting up sftp on a server. At least the
information will be encrypted during transmission.
