.htaccess to restrict access to directories
HI
I have a website and you can directly navigate to a directory and it will list all the files.
I need a .htaccess file to restrict the access (i think) but i keep finding information about password protecting the directory. I dont want to do that just avoid any access at all only include the files?
Can anyone help me.
Thanks.

Add this to your .htaccess file in the specific directory you want to limit access to:

Hi
although this restricts file listing i can still go directly to the file in the browser?
How can i stop from directly accessing this. i only want to include this.
