In my etomite installation I've created a folder "documents", where my editors upload their pics and PDFs. It is very easy to let them view and access only this special folder by editing the manager/actions/static/files.static.action.php. Simply change this line:
$excludes = array(".", "..", "cgi-bin", "manager");
to this (or whatever fits your needs):
$excludes = array(".", "..", "cgi-bin", "manager","assets",".htaccess","index.php","robots.txt");
and check your secured filemanager!
