Block Direct Access to Joomla Wrapper with htaccess file

[Snake Blisken]

Create a .htaccess file in the directory that you wish to protect.

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?www.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

This allows all users that were referred from the domain to access the file. In other words if they will be able to access the folder if the click through a link on your website.

Well, I cannot figure out what you mean. If it is aimed to protect the directory, why it allows all users to directly access the file? Anyway, it seems difficult for me to modify my .htaccess file as I use a shared hosting.
