What is this directory to be for? I ask because I'm pretty sure that naming it "admin" will cause you trouble, unless you've changed Routing.admin in core.php. Are you also taking advantage of admin routing and actions? Anyway, if you simply want a protected dir to upload files to, add a directory in app (same level as webroot), set the permissions to be writable by the web server, and save them there. When it comes time to display the files, use MediaView. If this is what you're after I'd be happy to post some code pointers. If not, please explain further what it is you're trying to do.
