If I don't have visible links to the files and don't let the indexing
robots in (robots.txt) then one needs the exact fully qualified URL to
access the file(s).

It isn't NSA quality security but it does make casual prowling more
difficult. My site has a wide variety of deep linked files hosted for
various groups. I can tell by the log file that they're not being
accessed frequently - just what I intended.
