If you upload the files to a folder outside the site's normal
structure, then those files cannot (normally) be displayed in a
browser. If they can't be displayed, then they can't be saved locally
:)

(I say normally because they can. It just requires that there be
additional support programs to render the file. I do this with a web
application that I developed. Pictures that are uploaded go to
/pictures on the machine www. /home/site/public_html is the root
folder for www.somesite.com. Therefore,
http://www.somesite.com/picture.jpg does not display anything.
However, http://www.somesite.com/displayImage.php?pic=picture.jpg
does, after making sure the current user is allowed to view the
picture. It's a bit more complex than that, but you should get the
idea.)
