Htaccess and downloads

Question

. Htaccess files are not my forte.

I have file uploads to be uploaded / uploaded. The user should be able to view the documents just downloaded by clicking on the document link that appears through ajax after the download is complete.

However, I would like to be able to password protect the / uploads folder, but still enable the current user to view the clicked document without asking for a password.

Can this be done in .htaccess?

Thanks for any suggestions.
