仅允许.htaccess从一个目录到另一个目录

Question

I have mp3's in a directory called /mp3/ and I want to be able to access them only from another page.php in another directory /main/ on the site. No direct linking from outside.

All of the pages are written in php

I put this code in the .htaccess file inside the /mp3/ directory...

Order deny,allow
deny from all

allow from 127.0.0.1
allow from localhost
allow from mydomain.com
allow from 123.45.678.90  # that's myserver's IP address (real one used in code)

Satisfy Any

But none of those work. It does work however if I use the IP address of were I am.

allow from 1.2.3.4  # my internet connection (real one used in code)

But that means it would work for anyone and their IP address.

What am I missing here? Does this work only on certain servers? How do I make it use the server's IP address and not my IP address?

Look into "hotlink protection" added to your .htaccess file. You can set it up for just .mp3 file extension, and forbid access by any foreign site or directly from browsers. You might even be able to restrict access from within your own site, but I can't see that being terribly useful.

Something like

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
# hotlink protection and allowed list
# don't forget to add https: to allow accesss for any with SSL
##  uncomment following line to PERMIT direct browser access of mp3 files
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$  
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain\.com(/)?.*$     [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.mp3$ - [F,NC]
