Well from your aspect, when the files are on your server.  But I am 
thinking about people who are in groups in the USA who are wanting to 
promote LibreOffice by handing out the latest version of someone's 
English DVD at the different meetings and events that these 
people/groups go to.  There are events in the USA this week that could 
get the latest files from us [including the one that are in the "theme" 
and "pics" folders] that are not easily saved via a browser system.  
These people would not have access to our FTP account as some of the 
TDF/LibreOffice people now have [or at least I emailed them the 
user/password info].  There people who do not have FTP access NEEDS some 
other way to get the files and folders from "us" that is easy if they 
had FTP access, but hard if they only have browser access.
