But are you generally asking for such plugin, or willing to create one ?
It would be nice to see such plugin, with users/files management in backend.
But creating such plugin would have to have bigger impact on GS than only access to downloads. It would have to add an additional type of created pages, available only to logged in users.
I was thinking about a simple solution based on htaccess too, but connected a little bit with GS.
I'd protect with htaccess a certain page, on which I could post html links to files, or just list certain directory content.
But this soution doesn't give a personalized access, and creating N users + generating N htpasswords (not to mention changing them later) is too much of a hassle.
ps. because I'm more a skeptic than optimist, I don't believe such plugin will be created ever soon. There's still no possibility to have more than 1 admin account, and creating cheats (like a small php script. which swaps between/renames user.xml files) started to get out of control.
