Ah. I thought you might have been talking about users on a LAN.

Since you want users to be able to upload/download files using a web 
browser then the apache user must have access to the files. That shouldn't 
be much of a problem since the apache user should be a unique user ID 
and  group not used by a regular user.

The biggest problem may be the use of .htaccess and creating/maintaining 
the user ID's and passwords to protect access to the files. You don't want 
to provide unrestricted upload/download to avoid people on the net using 
your site as a place where they could exchange copyrighted material.


Cheers!
