Well I agree that I don't want just any web-app to have local access. So I will simply put it down as being a bad idea. Using a zip-file is still an option. I called it unfriendly as it means that the user will have to use another program to prepare the data first. It isn't a deal-breaker though. I was mostly just wondering how other people deal with this situation or perhaps it doesn't come up with most Sage users.
