Block access to files and sub directory with .htaccess?
Question by jaya malladi
I have nearly 30 php files, 4 sub directories in my directory. I want to block some php files and sub directories from user in direct viewing like http://bhavani.com/hai.php
My currect htaccess file
## Enable Mod Rewrite, this is only required once in each .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
## Test for access to includes directory
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /includes/ .*$ [NC]
## Test that file requested has php extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^.+.php$
## Forbid Access
RewriteRule .* - [F,NS,L]
How to do it?

You can filter the files like this
<Files ~ ".php$">
Deny from all
</Files>
And directory like this
<Directory "/subdirectory">
Deny from all
</Directory>
