Restrict dir access...

[Arty Ziff]

Is there a way to restrict access to directories to scripts located on the same server?

 

For example, I have some libraries. I don't want hackers to find them and perhaps use them, for example my pdf library.

If you don't want somebody directly accessing a file, don't put it anywhere under the web root.

 

...unless the folder is well-protected, like with a .htaccess and

Order allow,deny # default behavior is to deny access

or (not as good)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^ - [R=404] # or redirect to your error page
