If you don't want to make a new directory to store them, you should make sure that uploaded files have their permissions changed by php so that only the web server can read them. You could in addition have php create the directory in which you want to store them, so that it has total control of the directory's permissions. I did this with my website so that other users of the machine can't even see what's in the directories in which my users store images. They might be private after all, who am I to say? Nik
