Htaccess for download directory

How can i restrict the file downloads within the .htaccess?

[asantos]

Hi.

I have a /download directory for my website. I dont want the files to get downloaded just by typing [foo.com...] because its sensitive information.

I was wondering if there's a way to DISABLE the file download through the .htaccess, and then i could get the file with

http://www.foo.com/get.php?id=$ID_OF_FILE&hash=MD5($filename)

Thanks,
Andres S.

Your best bet would be to keep the documents outside of the DocumentRoot but if you must keep them there then you can password protect the directory and/or protect it with an Order [httpd.apache.org] Deny/Allow directive.

Order Deny,Allow  
Deny from all

coopster: Would you explain, or better still post the code, for how to call a file from a directory outside of root please?

I've been wanting to implement this for some time, but haven't been able to find out how.

TIA.

Call:
<img src="img.php?tipo=album&img=hola.jpg" />

DIR_UPLOAD is a directory outside /public_html

Modify this code for your needs:******************

<?php
if(!$_GET['img'] ¦¦!$_GET['tipo']) die();
$img = new img();
if($file = realpath(DIR_UPLOAD.basename($_GET['tipo']).'/'.basename($_GET['img']))) {

$img->load($file);
$img->resize(intval($_GET['s']),$_GET['c']);
$img->show();
} else {
# Fichero no existe
$img->blank(intval($_GET['s']));
