how to download file from .htaccess protected directory

Hello friends
can any body tell me how to download file from .htaccess protected directory.
is there any way for it?
thanks

 

Hi,

Do you have the user name and password?, if so, you can simply do

http://username:password@website.com/somefile.zip

Code (markup):

 

no i don't have.

 

Is this a directory you own or are you trying to take a file from someone elses protected directory?

 

here is the .htaccess code by through the directory is protected

# Protect Directory
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^files [nc]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^files/ [nc]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^files/(.*) [nc]
RewriteRule files/(.*)$ index.php?do=404 [nc]


how i can bypas this and able to download file.

 

The file is Protected Because the owner doesnt want public access to it. And htaccess is efficient in doing it.

Well, If Anyone could over come Htaccess, Then why are people using it?

Protected is Protected

Thanks.

 

If you have access to the code protecting the directory then why dont you simply move the file to a directory that does not prevent downloads and then download the file. Or alternatively, if you have direct access to the .htaccess file then simply rename to a txt extension until you download the file? In linux it would be

 mv -f .htaccess htaccess.txt
