protecting the sitemap generator folder how?

How do I protect the sitemap generator folder?

So only I can access it, do I use deny, order and allow my IP?
If so do I need to allow access to any files in that folder?

I think I have got it

Create a .htaccess file and put it in the generator folder with the below.
Make sure to change the IP addresses

Code Select Expand


order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.168.1.5
allow from 127.0.0.1

<FilesMatch "sitemap.xsl">
allow from all
</Files>


You will need to set the IP addresses:

192.168.1.5 - This is your IP

127.0.0.1 - This is the server IP
