Hi,

I am considering myBB for a forum I want to set up.
Key issue is my concern about the security of documents uploaded to the forum - is here a way to have them encrypted or having them on a separate server (I have access to one but this is a file server only - no php, only the ability to upload via sshfs or sftp protocol)?

Thanks
