Hm, but another thing would have to happen for that to work: the actual page to upload would have to return an error message to people not logged in: "this function is not available to you because you are not logged in." Otherwise I could, for instance, put the upload files link on my user page and then it would get indexed anyway.

Hm, maybe just a robots.txt could take care of it? Or would both be better?

Something just occurred to me: what about if, when we migrate to the new software, we have the "upload files" link be an option that is by default off. That way the upload link will fall off the search engine

That's an excellent idea!
