Disable PHP script for one directory? 2

[iranor]

I want to give some users a FTP directory. I just want to know if it's possible to disable PHP scripting in this directory.

The FTP account is only to be used to upload images & videos. Is there a way to use a .htaccess or anything else to prevent php to parse the files in a specific directory?

Yes, there's actually two ways you can do it, one is to actually *turn off* php, the other is to simply deny access to files that would be processed as php. Both these methods are using .htaccess files.
1) Contents of .htaccess (This will turn off processing of php files, whilst still allowing their contents to be viewed):
php_value engine off
AddType text/plain .php .phtml .php3 .html .htm .shtml

2) Contents of .htaccess (This actually will turn off most common "script" type of files and prevent them from being accessed via the webserver):
<Files ~ "\.(php|php3|php4|phps|phtml|shtm|shtml|cgi|pl|pm|asp|aspx|cfm|cfml|js|vbs|jse|jsp|jar|py|do|exe|com|bat|dll|pif|scr|reg|inf|htaccess)$">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
