When building a website that is hosted on an apache based server, you have at your disposal a very powerful tool in the .htaccess files.

A few good links on the subject:

Hopefully you find some good information there, as I have.

Very Happy

Prevent viewing of .htaccess or other file
Code:

 <Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>


Block Ip address's from accessing your site:
Code:

 <Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from 123.456.789.000
deny from 456.78.90.
deny from .aol.com
allow from all
</Limit>


Most people turn of the default setting for directory browsing, this can be enabled on a per directory basis with an .htaccess file simply add to your .htaccess file for that directory ...
Code:

Options +Indexes
