   Wouldn't making the directory 0300 do the trick?

$ mkdir tst
$ echo foo >tst/foo
$ ls -l tst
total 4
-rw-rw-r--    1 fgouget  fgouget         4 Feb 11 18:16 foo
$ chmod 300 tst
$ ls -ld tst
d-wx------    2 fgouget  fgouget      4096 Feb 11 18:16 tst/
$ ls -l tst
ls: tst: Permission denied
$ echo fii >tst/fii

   But you can still see the files if you know their names:

$ ls -l tst/fii
-rw-rw-r--    1 fgouget  fgouget         4 Feb 11 18:16 tst/fii
$ ls -l tst/foo
-rw-rw-r--    1 fgouget  fgouget         4 Feb 11 18:16 tst/foo

   Isn't this what you want?
