Permitting only a few IPs to access directory?

I want to be able to ban all IPs from accessing a specific directorie APART from the IP addresses that I specifiy.

So basically only I can see the directory I specify.

Im pretty sure there must be a way of doing this via CPanel or something.
Thanks.

 

create a .htaccess file in the subdirectory and add this to it.

where xx.xx.xx.xx = the IP address to allow in.

You can also password protect the directory in cpanel - it requires a userid / password for someone to access it.

 

thanks I appreciate this a lot.

So if this is all i have in my htaccess file should it be ok.

deny from all
allow from xx.xx.xxx.xxx
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Code (markup):

Thanks.

EDIT: or do I need somehting like order deny,allow ?

 

Its fine and would work.

 

thanks classifieds, its really a good trick to know.
