How to avoid unauthorized access to Files inside CakePHP's webroot folder using ACL?

I have a folder inside my CakePHP webroot folder, I want [ONLY] logged-in users to access this folder/files inside webroot! Is it possible?

For example:

If not logged in:

www.example.com/app/webroot/pdf/word.doc

This should yield a message saying please login

No, this is not possible because the access to the files in the webroot folder is not handled by the framework.

The media view is probably what you are looking for.
