    If you want to deny listing to everybody, add this to tou .htaccess file:
    
Options -Indexes -Includes
    Code (markup):
    And if you want to allow listings for authorized people, add this
    
AuthUserFile /path_to_your_directory/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Limited Access"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
Options All MultiViews
    Code (markup):
    With this method you need to create a .htpasswd file and fill them properly.

    i want to let acces only to the server to acces the files, then getting from there and make a download start.
    Options -Indexes -Includes
    Code (markup):
    is this the good one for what I'm looking? Script isn't complete, and I can't test it.

    You can test it easily: Create a directory a put the .htaccess file there
    Then if you try to access that directory through your browser, you'll get a 403 HTTP error similar to:
    "You don't have permission to access /yourTestDirectory/ on this server".
