Tell us what you are trying to do?
How could I have a file uploaded to a private folder that has htaccess set to deny all? Then serve that link in the post. Overall what I am trying to achieve is a customer fills out a cred form. This form has specs and then the company later on uploads a file to that post through an edit. Customer goes in and downloads it from their post. I already have post viewing restricted to only the author or admin.

What is the link to your site?
Site is under local development.

Hello,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Tooslet form plugin, it needs custom codes, for example, you can use try wordpress built-in filter hook "upload_dir" to change the folder to your own specific folder:
