Give no one access in a directory .htaccess

Question

It is probably very simple but I can't find it. I want to make a .htaccess file so no one can get into the folder. except for the php on the server.

does anyone know the code line?

Thanks Matthy

Answer 1

You want

Deny from all

Answer 2

Instead of denying all traffic you could try redirecting it with mod_rewrite to make it useful i.e. back into the flow of the site.

RewriteEngine on
rewriteRule ^path/to/forbidden/directory/? index.php [L]
