[SOLVED] Blocking Folder Access from all but Internal requests?


Recommended Posts

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!
