This can be solvable by simple but not trivial PHP (or Perl) script that
will "simulate" system access privileges. No FTP, only HTTP. For upload you
can use <input type="file"> and for download uour PHP code must simulate
some command like "dir" on Windows or "ls" on Linux. What user not see it
user can't download. It is true? :-)
Of course, if user know complete URL he can download. Also download can be
realised by PHP code too. All links to download will look like
http://mydomain.com/download.php?file=012BGH32
