Is there a way to protect uploaded files to prevent direct access? For instance, if I upload PDFs to the media library, I'd like to prevent people from accessing the pdf link directly (http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/filename.pdf)

In my case, I'd like to restrict access to PDFs to users who are logged in.

Thanks
