jdseymour answered this above. If you have XOOPS files scattered all over your directory hierarchy, you are creating far more headache for yourself than necessary. This is not an Apache or Linux permissions issue, it is a XOOPS issue. Read the XOOPS docs and figure out how to create groups if you haven't done this already, then assign priveleges accordingly.
Sorry to say but this answer is some sort of too simple. Securing files isn't just a matter of XOOPS permission(s).
Let's say you have files (zip,tar, pdf etc.) within an directory and offer them for download, these files aren;t protected at all. The person can see from where he/she grabs the file(s) and can send those links without any problem to another person who isn't a registered user. This user can acces those files without any problem.
I think this is meant within the question of the original poster.
How to protect those files for none registered users.
