Is it true that if a person have the filename of the files i have in the server they will be able to download it??

Coz i have a website and wants to give a gift to those who donates to me... i wan the file to be protected so that only that selected users will be able to download the file... the file are image files....(wallpapers and stuff)

What is the best way to prevent others from downloading the file???

put all the downloads in a new folder, restrict the users access with htaccess or prefereably sessions as its much less hassle
