I implemented this but have observed that snakemake appears to hang indefinitely (or least for a long time) if using remote files. I will set this aside for now.
This appears to be the same issue as https://github.com/snakemake/snakemake/issues/373.
I am going to close this. As noted this doesn't seem to be a viable option given snakemake limitations. Additionally I've confirmed the integrity of the resource files the pipeline uses and revoked write permissions on these files from everyone else, so we should be fine on this front. The only unfortunate thing is that this is the only aspect of the pipeline that is tied into our environment (would be preferable to have none).
Ideally the pipeline should not have dependencies on data of unknown provenance as is the case when using pre-downloaded files.
