Block access to your .htaccess file

[razzbee]

The following code will prevent user to access your .htaccess file. Also, you can block multiple file type as well.

# secure htaccess file
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

# prevent viewing of a specific file
<Files secretfile.jpg>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

# multiple file types
<FilesMatch ".(htaccess|htpasswd|ini|phps|fla|psd|log|sh)$ ">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all

if already have this one:
<FilesMatch ".(htaccess|htpasswd|ini|phps|fla|psd|log|sh)$ ">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>


this one is not necessary:
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

FilesMatch uses Regex so its recommended U use the correct and recommended code even though that will work but escape the dot (.)
the dot must be \.
so do this :

<FilesMatch "\.(htaccess|htpasswd|ini|phps|fla|psd|log|sh)$">
 Order Allow,Deny
 Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
