Allow download filetype previously denied in .htaccess?

    Hi.

    I generate a CSV-file from a mysql_query. That works fine, and I can see the file being created and such. It works.

    In my .htaccess I have a deny from all rule for certain filetypes:
    
<FilesMatch "\.(inc|txt|html|csv)$">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</FilesMatch>
    Code (markup):
    Unfortunately, this also mean I can't just put a link to the CSV-file from the page it's being generated on - I get an "access denied" if I try to open it or download it.

    So... how do I fix this? I would still like for anyone not logged in as admin to not be able to download the file, or see it, for that matter, but how do I allow myself to download it?

    Nevermind - I found the answer :)

    Just made another .php-file which opens, reads and downloads the csv-file
