Controlling Web Page Access With HTAccess

The access instruction

The set of instructions that are placed between the <LIMIT GET> and </LIMIT> statements determine how the directory can be accessed, i.e., who is allowed to access the web pages in the directory, and who is denied access.

There are several types of access instructions which can be used:

Notes:
    There is no space between the words "deny" and "allow" in the lines order deny,allow
    order allow,deny
    If you only wish to allow or deny access from specific domains, the first four "Auth" lines of the .htaccess file can be omitted.

    Each of these instructions can include multiple user/group/domain names.

    It is possible to use combinations of the different types of instructions.

    It is possible to use multiple instructions of the same type.
