requinix Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Use your favorite mechanism for restricting access (like an Order), and then use a to override that specifically for Myxmlfilename.xml. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution requinix Posted May 16, 2014 Solution Share Posted May 16, 2014 It's a file. If you don't have one then make it - it goes in the folder that contains that XML file. Inside it, use an Order to limit access to everything, # deny by default Order allow,denythen a with an Allow that grants access instead. <Files "Myxmlfilename.xml"> Allow from all </Files> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
