Password protect some uploaded files

There is any way to password protect some uploaded files ?

If it’s an archive, the easiest way is to password protect the archive. You can also password protect MS Office or Open Office files.

Anyway, since we don’t have a repository module yet, I think the question is a bit ahead, isn’t it ?

Or you could put the uploads on a page restricted to a webuser group.

But they still be able to access the file using hard link.
It’s best to protect the file using .htaccess, if you’re running using apache linux.
