Q: How do I deny web access to a particular file?

If you have a file underneath your DocumentRoot (accessible to a browser) that you do not want anyone to be able to view in a browser, you can block access to it with a Files directive in an .htaccess file. The .htaccess file will affect all subdirectories below the one in which the .htaccess file resides. For example: <Files ~ "^somefile\.ext"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> will deny access to any file that looks like "somefile.ext".
