How to avoid apache allow download certain files? (for example .py and .sh)



I want to avoid files to be served and downloaded like



www.site.com/file.sh
www.site.com/file.py


but I've tried to do this



<Files ~ "^.sh">
Order deny,allow
deny from all
</Files>

<Files ~ "^.py">
Order deny,allow
deny from all
</Files>


also this



<FilesMatch ".(sh|py)$">
Order deny,allow
deny from all
</FilesMatch>


Nothings seems to work, I've tried to put the file in




/etc/apache2/apache2.conf




also




/etc/apache2/sites-available/default




Nothing works, apache still let me download the files.

  • Of course, this just means someone will simply rename the files with a .txt extension.

Your file match clauses seem to be incorrect.



<Files ~ "^.py">


will match files whose names will start with characters .py. You'll want



<Files ~ ".py$">


instead.



But your FilesMatch regular expression looks correct. So maybe the problem lies elsewhere. Perhaps your Apache uses the new-style access control directives only?



Try replacing the old-style



Order deny,allow
deny from all


with the new-style equivalent:



Require all denied
