Obviously a webapp has to be created.  The files can be stored and
owned by the user that the webapp is running as.  And you do
not actually give the user a link to the physical file that is on the 
filesystem.  You use the webapp to feed them that file. 

There are _many_ ways this task can be accomplished.
