The :py:meth:`.ACPInstance.upload_file` and :py:meth:`.ACPInstance.download_file` methods create files
on the local or remote machine, without any validation of the file content or path.
The same is true for file load / save methods if the ``auto_transfer_files`` parameter is set to
``True`` in :func:`.launch_acp`.

When exposing these methods to untrusted users, it is important to validate that
only files that are safe to be uploaded or downloaded are processed.
