apache - How to set rules in .htaccess to prevent downloading of .htaccess files

Question

I often receive alerts to download .htaccess which is quite annoying. I want to prohibit access to it, but I added rules in .httaccessRewriteRule /.(svn|git|htaccess) - [F,L] Invalid, it can block svn, git, but cannot block .htaccess access, and if the .htaccess accesses the subdirectory (the file does not exist), it can successfully block access.

Does anyone know how to set rules in the .htaccess file to prevent access to the .htaccess file? If I don’t want to set or try it elsewhere, just ask if it can be done in the .htaccess file.

Answer 1

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
