We'll either way, you'll have to use a database, but they're probably going to use their own, so it shouldn't make a difference. From what I think you're asking, you're going to upload tie files to their server.

ive been told doing this may get my account closed..

in other words, you can't put it on someone's site without the license, this is the file in the forums root, then it's piracy, but if you give them the license, then it is theirs, there isn't an easy way to put it on someone else's site, but still keep ownership. I think. I'm not sure.

Can anybody please help me making sure the site owner wont be able to see my files when i upload it to his ftp account?

They WILL be able to see your files if you upload it to their ftp account.
