You probably do not want to store the files in public. Store them somewhere else if you need to protect them with passwords. You can easily upload them to Amazon's S3 with attachment_fu, just be sure to set :s3_access to an appropriate value And you can use send_data with :disposition => 'inline' to send the data to the user. See http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Streaming.html
