Well... it "stores your file." Hmmm.

CCP doesn't call it "storing on remote," but Downloading. This is reminiscent of the difference between copying and installing.

Does it store it as a file, or does transferring it to the remote install it so that it can operate, which means it's not on the remote as a file?

If something were to go wrong with the way the file works, maybe another copy of the file, that could be copied off, then downloaded. Of course, if the remote goes bad, such a file would perhaps be just as likely to be damaged. Just bein' paranoid and trying to think outside the socket.
