A customer will call in with a issue and I'll request they send me log files, crashdumps, sniffer traces, etc. If the info is, say less than 5MB, I request they mail me the file zipped (password encryped) as most users do not have pgp or a secure ftp client (mostly windows users). Larger files must be FTP'd. Well of course there is the security concern. I believe one can set up a Apache server with SSL to PHP and have the client browse to the server and upload the files securely (without having to load any additional client software on their windows PC's/servers) I am running a 5.3 box and have some issues installing Apache/SSL/PHP due to dependencies mismatches.
