how to restrict access to uploaded files using cck file field from other users

Question

I've a node type created by different users who will be uploading private files. Now all of whom land in sites/default/files folder which has public access and is visible to the world. I've tried Private Download module but it can't restrict other users to access one's uploaded files.

I'm using Drupal 6.2

This doesn't use the filefield module, but User Files allows making files private except to the uploading user.

EDIT:
filedepot may work for you. It will allow you to create a folder and only allow that user to access it. I haven't played around with it too much, but it can definitely be a useful tool.
