What is the security risk of hosting documents and letting them being
downloaded?
As explained by Steffen, put them in some directory and (for example)
use a file list plugin to render a list of files to be downloaded.
If you want to make sure only authorized persons are downloading your
files (after authentication for instance), you may have a look at
naw_secure_dl (again, just an example).
If you really need more than this, well, there are solutions as well but
I don't want to talk about them unless you show that you need that :)
Regards
