This can hardly be accomplished without third party software on the
client side.  They will need to either install secure clone of FTP or
tunelling/VPN client.

But you can make them upload files over HTTPS.  Which is probably the
easiest way.  Alternatives are: install VPN server on your RaQ and let
people establish VPN before file transferring, use some "secure FTP"
(*), or use scp (part of ssh).
