htaccess Deny Diractory Access During a Specific Time

April 27, 2008 |

If for some reason you would like to block access to files in a directory during a specific time of day, you can do so by adding the following code to an .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On # If the hour is 16 (4 PM) RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} ^16$ # Then deny all access RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F,L]

In the above example, if the hour is 16 (4 PM), the all access would be denied. You can also block multiple hour:

RewriteEngine On # Multiple hour blocks # If the hour is 4 PM or 5 PM or 8 AM RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} ^16|17|08$ # Then deny all access RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F,L]
