My new system will have an upload functionality. However, these files should only be available to specific accounts. How to do prevent people from just typing the URL of the file in the address bar and then downloading the file without the appropriate permissions?

You can change the permissions of the folder you store the files in or upload the files to a directory outside your public_html folder. I lean towards the second option.
