Have Apache not serve certain file extensions

Is there a way to have apache not handle...

Is there a way to have apache not serve specific file types? For instance I do not want any *.bak files to be served but they have to stay in the web directory.

Hi,

You can do this the same way Apache prevents local config and password files from being served. Add the following to your configuration file:

<Files ~ "^\.bak">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</Files>

Hope this helps!
