Not being paranoid? He has to transfer the files containing sensitive information and that requires it not be intercepted by anybody but the intended recipient. In the financial sector, medical sector, any sector that deals with peoples' personal information or finances, security is the TOP priority. Assuring both your boss, you customers, and the federal government that you're in compliance is of the utmost importance. One slip and your company's credibility is gone. You know what they say, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
If it's data to be processed and used with a database or something similar, then I'd suggest either SFTP or set up a site-to-site VPN between your 2 offices and either provide them with instructions for FTPing it off of your server or the other way around. A simple link would work as well: ftp://10.10.10.10/yourfile.csv that way it's almost dummy proof.
Password protect them or encrypt them all. And in each copy, you encrypt it or password it with the Social Security number of each employee it's going to. This would be a pain, but who's going to tell the web what the password is to this new file.
Unless I'm mistaken, the NFL is attempting to do just that. It says "This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience. Any other use of this telecast or of any pictures, descriptions, or accounts of the game without the NFL's consent, is prohibited."
That means even though you experienced the game, you may not tell anybody else about any accounts of the game. You may not SHARE what you experienced. No play by plays for you!
*sigh* sad....
You could always use Privoxy. It takes a bit of configuring at first, but if your network is configured properly, it would work well. Here's one way that COULD be bypassed, but I'm too lazy at the moment to think of how..
Set up a parent's PC with Privoxy. Deny all access to the public internet from child's PC. This would force the child's PC to only get internet access if they are using the parent's PC as the proxy. You could always deny only port 80 to the child's PC, but that's only going to stop so much. I'd recommend a minimum of 80 and 443 (https).
Good luck!
You're comparing iTunes to Winamp and Foobar. You also compare WMP to VLC and MPC.
iTunes is the primary interface for an iPod/iPhone. WinAmp is DESIGNED to be a media player. Windows Media Player not bloated? The install package is pretty hefty, VLC is both portable and includes all of the codecs you need. MPC has the same handicap of requiring the DLLs to be installed on the host machine as well.
VLC can only be compared to MPC and WMP if you think of it in terms of WMP+Codecs and MPC+Codecs.

Correction: ftp://user:password@10.10.10.10/yourfile.csv is the proper example link.

*OFF TOPIC* but your sig isn't the right quote. The last 2 words are "You dig."

Correction, requires the same CODECs, not DLLs. My mind is on work too much atm...
