Uncrackable Directory Block

This technique is uncrackable because, when implemented correctly, no browsers or bots on the internet can get into the directory. For this to work, your server needs to run on Unix/Linux software.

In the directory you want to protect, put a .htaccess file with this line of code:

deny from all

That denies all internet access to the directory.

You can still access it with FTP. And software on your server should be able to access it. But no internet traffic.
