htacccess help - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

Hello all,

I've looked at some htaccess tutorials but I cant seem to find an answer to this problem:

I have a flash game in directory /www/forums/game which accesses text files in folder /www/forums/game/data/

I can I allow the flash game to read the text files but not let a user point through the browser to the text file and read them?

I put this in the htaccess in the data folder which contains the text files:

Code:

Order deny,allow
deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

but this blocked the access when going through the browser such as : forums.com

But then the flash game could not read the questions from the text file folder.

Any help would be appreciated.

How are you expecting the user to access the data folder?

If you put a Options -index at the top of a .htaccess file they won't be able to index the directory. Is that something like what you were thinking?
