I think the mention of using VMs was to show that if you had a machine hosted somewhere outside of your network, but you needed to get a file onto it and had no direct connection to it, then you could use this to host an encrypted file and then download it?

I'm sure I've seen something similar where a browser creates a tunnel of sorts, and lets you send a file or something directly from one browser to the other - which would probably be better for something like this as the file is not stored on a server.
