Is there a way to implement a password protection for uploads, so that only
people which know a password can upload a file?

In the first time, it could be possible to add a list of known passwords (defined in the config file), and deny file upload to users who don't supply a valid password.

Users who have a link the download a file don't need to know a valid password to get the file.

I think that a complete user authentication/authorization mechanism is beyond the scope of flaskup. A custom authentication mechanism could be added in the web server in front of flaskup (like mod_auth* in apache).

Add support for a basic password protection for uploads (#2)

If FLASKUP_UPLOAD_PASSWORDS is defined (as a list of valid passwords),
Flaskup will ask users to provide a password from this list when he
upload a file. If the password is not known the upload is denied.
If FLASKUP_UPLOAD_PASSWORDS is not defined (or the list is empty),
Flaskup acts as normal: no passwords needed.
