Does this ISP provide ASP, ColdFusion, PHP or something else of the sort? Tyler Clendenin GSL Solutions

I have been living in a bubble for the past 3 years and have developped many web apps in CF, ASP and JSP on secure networks with no Internet connection. For the first time, I am building an Internet based web app in CF. Creating the members only portion with user authentication and so on is no problem. However, the site's main focus is to share research data among members. Most members want to upload MS Word docs, MS Excel docs and PDFs. The site will be hosted at an ISP, so using IIS or NT security is not an option. So here is my dilema, once I have uploaded documents that I only want members to access, how can I achieve something better than "security through obscurity" and prevent people from stumbling on the docs by guessing or as the result of a search engine search? Same question for images. There will be images in .jpg and .gif format which are destined for members eyes only. Any recommendations appreciated.
