mod_rewrite rules to prevent access to assets folder and contents? - El Forum - 04-03-2012

Hello,
I'm struggling with coming up with the correct .htaccess rules to prevent direct external access from the contents of my CI project assets folder (and subfolders). Any suggestions?
regards,
Bob

Thanks!

After much thrashing around, I found that putting these lines in .htaccess at the root of my project did the trick:

# prevent directory browsing
Options All -Indexes
# prevent folder listing
IndexIgnore *
