It's less the storage and more the permissions. The files are just zip files that are to be stored on the ftp server. The problem is they need to be named and stored with pretty specific parameters and referenced by the CF pages in server different instances. So no matter how specific you get with instructions there is still a 99% chance that someone will screw up the naming convention or folder structure and break things. Which is why I normally handle it with cffile, but I can't in this particular setting.
