Unfortunately that is not the case. The provider does not allow
storage outside of the docroot, else, that would of course solve
everything as all of the TCL scripts would work outside of the docroot
in that case.
I did manage to add one extra line of security as a measure:
...
} elseif {[string length $firstname] > 75 || [string length $lastname]
> 75} {
# HANDLE
}
...
