.htaccess: how to restrict access to a single file by IP?

Question

I\'ve look all over, but keeps running into same info that talks about directory level IP restriction, which usually looks something like this:

Order Deny,A         


        

Answer 1

For a more up to date Apache 2.4 example:

    Require ip 123.123.123.123

Here are the more in depth docs for additional options and examples: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/access.html and the docs for the directive: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#files

Note that can be nested inside sections to restrict the portion of the filesystem they apply to.
