It's no big deal if you're the only person accessing the files, but when 
you have multiple folks doing it, you have to control access to the 
files.  By putting the files in the database, you let the database 
control access.  If the files are separate, you've got to insure that 
the database access and file access are atomic processes.

I agree you'd have to build an interface, but I don't know that there is 
any secure way to do it without building an interface.  ssl maybe.
