the problem with serving files using CF is that you are putting considerable extra load onto CF, as it has to load the load into memory and then serve it. If its a busy site serving lots of files then this may well overload your cfserver, especially if your on shared hosting. by using .htaccess as I said, you do not involve CF in the task at all. If you want to control permissions on other parts of your app as well, then this is also easy to achieve, as you can pass the login used from htaccess to CF and then use that for your role based security within your cf app as you already do.
