Htaccess: Disallowing certain file types to be downloaded

[ronnyjljr]

Hello,

How do you configure an htaccess file to not allow files of a certain extension lets says, .txt, to be downloaded or accessed but still be able to be used by php scripts on the server?

Thanks,
Ron

cout << "If you don't know where you want to go, we'll make sure you get taken";

Just add ....

IndexIgnore *.txt

to your .htaccess file.

BTW -there is a forum for Apache topics in here : forum65

Best Regards

Thanks Jakob,


I also found this which works quite nicely.

<Files ~ "\.(zip|tar|rar|tgz|tar.gz|mp3|mp4|mid|mpeg|wav|avi|au)$">
Deny from all
</Files>

cout << "If you don't know where you want to go, we'll make sure you get taken";
