Guest Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hello all, I've been searching for a definitive way to do this, and I've found things that beat around the bush, but never quite did what I wanted. I want to block direct access to a folder and all its sub directories, but allow access for internal requests; like when a page loads external stylesheets or images. And this has to be in an .htaccess file--so the Directory directive won't work. I've tried exploring the principle for preventing hotlinking (checking the referrer), but I haven't actually tried it, and would also like to know if there are any other options. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Guest Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Bah, forgive me. Minutes after I posted this, I remembered I could have done an 402 redirect with rewriterule. And on top of that, I should have put this into the mod_Rewrite category! Sorry for the trouble!
