How can I stop direct access of a folder with Apache using .htaccess?

Question

I have tried to use

deny from all

So it blocks the whole contains and can be access by the page also..

`Deny from all` did not work? Could you be more clear? You want to deny access but you *also* want to allow access somehow? — Clay, Jan 11 '16 at 04:26

Just create a blank index.html file and upload it to each folder. It's easier and safer..

You can use the following code to deny access to the folder:

RedirectMatch 403 ^/folder/?$

just replace folder with name of the folder you want to deny access to.

To deny access to folder and files

You can use :

RedirectMatch 403 ^/folder/.+$

This will show forbidden error for the folder and files.
