I have .htaccess file for wordpress. There is code
<Files wp-login.php>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 46.61.xxx
allow from 91.211.xxx
allow from 176.14.xxx
</files>
2 of these ip - works, i.e. i can enter from 46.61.xxx and 176.14.xxx, but i can't enter from 91.211.xxx. What problem could it be?
Give it a try without those xxx's, check the apache documentation
<Files wp-login.php>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 46.61
allow from 91.211
allow from 176.14
</files>
I have files which contain important settings(MySQL password etc...), and jQuery scripts. I don't want them to be accessed(over link, eg. link.com/scripts/jquery_script.js). I made something but that code don't work. Code is in .htaccess file. .htaccess file is in root. I put echo in settings.php file, and I can see it.
<files scripts/settings.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>
Files directive doesn't take full path.
Use this directive in /scripts/.htaccess (create it if it doesn't exist):
<files settings.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>
I've recently upgraded a web app and I want to combine the new and old htaccess into one file. Here is my new htaccess:
<Files ~ "\.inc$">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
And my old htaccess:
order deny,allow
deny from all
Allow from 12.34.567.89
Allow from 12.34.567.88
My end goal is that No One can access the *.inc but only the approved IPs can access the rest of the folder.
Can I just concatenate these two rules in one file?
Yes you can use:
order deny,allow
deny from all
Allow from 12.34.567.89
Allow from 12.34.567.88
<Files ~ "\.inc$">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
I have the following .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Protect the htaccess file
<Files .htaccess>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Files>
# Protect log.txt
<Files ./inscription/log.txt>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Files>
# Disable directory browsing
Options All -Indexes
I am trying to forbid visitors to access the following file:
domain.example/inscription/log.txt
but what I have above does not work: I can still access the file from the browser remotely.
Within an htaccess file, the scope of the <Files> directive only applies to that directory (I guess to avoid confusion when rules/directives in the htaccess of subdirectories get applied superceding ones from the parent).
So you can have:
<Files "log.txt">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Files>
For Apache 2.4+, you'd use:
<Files "log.txt">
Require all denied
</Files>
In an htaccess file in your inscription directory. Or you can use mod_rewrite to sort of handle both cases deny access to htaccess file as well as log.txt:
RewriteRule /?\.htaccess$ - [F,L]
RewriteRule ^/?inscription/log\.txt$ - [F,L]
Strong pattern matching — This is the method that I use here at Perishable Press. Using strong pattern matching, this technique prevents external access to any file containing “.hta”, “.HTA”, or any case-insensitive combination thereof. To illustrate, this code will prevent access through any of the following requests:
.htaccess
.HTACCESS
.hTaCcEsS
testFILE.htaccess
filename.HTACCESS
FILEROOT.hTaCcEsS
..etc., etc. Clearly, this method is highly effective at securing your site’s HTAccess files. Further, this technique also includes the fortifying “Satisfy All” directive. Note that this code should be placed in your domain’s root HTAccess file:
# STRONG HTACCESS PROTECTION
<Files ~ "^.*\.([Hh][Tt][Aa])">
order allow,deny
deny from all
satisfy all
</Files>
I don't believe the currently accepted answer is correct. For example, I have the following .htaccess file in the root of a virtual server (apache 2.4):
<Files "reminder.php">
require all denied
require host localhost
require ip 127.0.0.1
require ip xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa
</Files>
This prevents external access to reminder.php which is in a subdirectory.
I have a similar .htaccess file on my Apache 2.2 server with the same effect:
<Files "reminder.php">
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa
</Files>
I don't know for sure but I suspect it's the attempt to define the subdirectory specifically in the .htaccess file, viz <Files ./inscription/log.txt> which is causing it to fail. It would be simpler to put the .htaccess file in the same directory as log.txt i.e. in the inscription directory and it will work there.
Place the below line in your .htaccess file and replace the file name as you wish
RewriteRule ^(test\.php) - [F,L,NC]
Well you could use the <Directory> tag
for example:
<Directory /inscription>
<Files log.txt>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
</Directory>
Do not use ./ because if you just use / it looks at the root directory of your site.

How I add multiple files in htaccess files tag? The code bellow works for one file.
<Files wp-login.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from 191.211.9.1
Deny from all
</Files>
I end up using this:
<filesMatch "^(wp-login|wp-file)\.php$">
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from 190.190.0.1
Deny from all
</filesMatch>
Try something like this(not tested but should work):
<Files ~ "^(admin|wp-login|one-more-file)\.php$">
or this:
<FilesMatch "^(admin|wp-login|one-more-file)\.php$">
