Disallow access to directory through the web?

I want to put some js files in a folder where they cannot be accessed by navigating to them through a web browser, but still be able to link them into my webpages. I don't know if this is possible, but I think I'll need to use .htaccess somehow.

Thanks

If you have cPanel click "Password protect Directories" then it will do it for you.

EDIT: Reread the post - try hotlink protection :)

PM me for more help if you need it :)

Good luck.

Hmm.. Just make loads of folders..

Like a maze..

Pointless because you can look in the source then see the path straight away :p

Oh well

People looking in the source is what I was trying to protect against. All they should be able to see is a <script> tag linking to a file they can't see.

I tried

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1

in .htaccess but it didn't let the html file access the javascript file, but it blocked users from accessing the file.

I thought about using PHP includes but they would work would they?
