create a .htaccess file under /templates/

and put:

Deny From All

it should work.

c0demonger's suggestion (Thanks for trying to help, however

), is not complete, and a straight "deny from all" directive would prevent all files in the folder from being viewed. Try this in its folder:

<files main.tpl>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>

This prevents its direct viewing, but allows your other scripts to access it.

ErrorDocument 403 "Access Denied to this file!

Denies direct access via browser to all files within the folder that have a "." and a file extention in the name (unless you are doing something funny, all files). Note the line:
ErrorDocument 403 "Access Denied to this file.
only has one " - This is normal, on most configurations. Leaving it out, you get a server error. Adding another " to the end, and the second one shows at the end of the sentence. This line is NOT neccessary at all (could be added in protecting one file, as my first reply was about, or blocking whole directory, by the way

) Basically, any "blocked" file they attempt to access directly in browser, just gives them that sentence when they try viewing the URL. Replacing the line with a URL would send them to that URL instead:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/247855-httaccess.html
ErrorDocument 403 http://yoursite.com/AccessDenied.html

Hope this helps

although mine works most of the time (for me at least), maximum's solution is the proper way of doing it

thanks maximum.
