Yes, you can use the `.htaccess` file to block access to specific file types on your website. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Create or edit the .htaccess file: If you don’t already have an `.htaccess` file in your website’s root directory, you can create one. If it already exists, you can edit it.
2. Add the code to block specific file types: Use the following code snippet to block access to specific file types. Replace `filetype` with the file extension you want to block.
<FilesMatch "\.(filetype)$"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch>
For example, if you want to block access to `.pdf` files, the code would look like this:
<FilesMatch "\.(pdf)$"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch>
3. Save the changes: Save the `.htaccess` file after adding the code.
4. Test: Make sure to test whether the files of the specified type are inaccessible from the web browser.
