Can I block access to specific file types using .htaccess?

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.
