If I am not mistaken...
You could write a script that uses PHP to look at the database, create a
file, and download it to the browser over an HTTPS connection (128 bit
ssl). You would need some sound security protecting access to the download
page. You could use the same script to accept a file upload from a browser
over a HTTPS connection. I have used a scheme like this to transmit order
data (including credit cards) from a MySQL database to a Visual FoxPro
Application for Windows 98.
Hope it helps,
