Hello, Peter.

You should not put private files in place accessible to everyone, or you 
will undermine the security provided by base2. As I understand it, base2 
obfusticates the mapping of files stored in 'home' directories and the 
underlying filesystem - On our NBX systems the files are in:

        /usr/local/base2 -> /home/base2

This area should not be made accessible via the web server under any 
curcumstances. However, one possibility might be to provide an SFTP 
end-point as part of your web service so that a client can download the 
files using proper authentication and encryption of the data in transit.

        Tony.
