You need to edit/create .htaccess file of the directory you want to prevent the direct access from people.

As per the solutions given here :

I would just move the includes folder out of the web-root, but if you want to block direct access to the whole includes folder, you can put a .htaccess file in that folder that contains just:
deny from all
That way you cannot open any file from that folder, but you can include them in php without any problems.

Solution - 2

It's possible to use a Files directive and disallow access to all files, then use it again to set the files that are accessible:
<Files ~ "^.*">
  Deny from all
</Files>

<Files ~ "^index\.php|css|js|.*\.png|.*\.jpg|.*\.gif">
  Allow from all
</Files>

@baburaj, You have to specify the path if you want to restrict certain folder. — LuFFy, Mar 22 '17 at 11:23
