Hi I am new to PHP. I am using codeignitor, just want to protect my public folder from direct access. e.g. Refer below url. when i enter this URL in browser on my local machine it shows all my static files.

http://localhost/myapp/public/

This is htaccess file content. So could you please help how i protect my public folder from direct access.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

In the directory, create a plain text file that you name .htaccess and put this line in it:

deny from all
