Host Filtering
To deny/allow access on the basis of hostnames, all that you need to do is to create
a filen named .htaccess in the directory that you want to protect. The .htaccess
file should contain a Limit
directive and the appropriate order, allow, and deny directives.
Example
Suppose that I have a directory named cool_stuff under my public_html directory and it contains stuff
that is so incredibly cool that people from AOL shouldn't be allowed to see it.
I could create a file called .htaccess in the directory ~/public_html/cool_stuff. If I put
the following in that file:
<![CDATA[
<Limit GET>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from .aol.com
</Limit>
]]>
then accesses from the domain aol.com will be refused.
