Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/private_upload The Private Upload module gives you a way to allow users to upload files to a private directory while still keeping your file downloads public.
Who: Technical and non-technical When: Use this module when you want to allow users to upload files but you don't want the contents of those files to be public. Where: Be sure to got to /admin/settings/private_upload before you upload any files or else you'll have to go through and edit a lot of nodes. If you do happen add this to an existing site, all files will be public by default and you'll have to re-set the files you want to be private. Why: Drupal 6's default private file handling comes with quite a few drawbacks. This module allows you to have private uploads while steering clear of Drupal's private file setting.
