Download customer files for import into other programs

Is it possible to download files w/o compromising customer security?

[plzdontspamme]

I'd like to set up our web site so that each time a customer places an order we don't have to re-enter the data by hand into our accounting and credit card processing software programs. Since both of the programs we use allow data to be imported in comma-separated value format, and since it's not difficult to write a script that would create or update encryped CSV text files each time an order is processed, this shouldn't be hard to do. But, how can I download unencryped versions of these files securely so I can import them into our software?

I've thought of creating a special, secure page that we could access that would show these data files in an unencrypted format. Then, we could copy-and-paste from the browser into text files on our PC. Or, we could download the encryped files via FTP then unencrypt them on our PC. However, it would be easier if we could simply download the files we need without having to unencrypt them. Is this possible?

Thank you for your greeting, and for the related thread. I find these forums very helpful.

Yes, Lorax is doing exactly what I had in mind. I guess I should start browsing the PHP (or similar) forum to pursue this further...
