.htaccess Configuration help pls

[immi007]

Hi,

There is a folder on my website that I wish to protect as it is protected on my website folder below:

https://ws21.ipowerweb.com/lajollap/cgi-bin/


It gives you "you are unauthorised to view this page" error. Could any of you kindly guide me as to how I can achieve this.

Thanks

Ok so I've made this .htaccess file from what I learned from this website.

I have programed it to show a 403 Error upon accessing any of the directories on my website, and I'll be placing this on my root directory
i.e mydomain.com/.htaccess so that it protects all other directories on the website.

I've also programmed it for not allowing any hot linking of any of my gif|jpg|js|css content from my site.

take a look:

---------------------------------------------------------------

ErrorDocument 403 /errors/forbid.html

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

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?mydomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|js|css)$ - [F]

----------------------------------------------------------------

Is there anyother code that I need to put on this file before uploading it to take affect.

thanks

If you can protect from web admin is better more than .htaccess.

intinternetmarketing, your grammar is unintelligible, to me at least.

immi007, no, that should work, but it would have been much easier just to deny read permission to world:

$ chmod w-r cgi-bin
