use FileMatch to Deny access for all web users
put following code at httpd.conf at your Apache Server


<FilesMatch "^\config.ini">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</FilesMatch>

<FilesMatch "^\(filename to search in environment)">

suppose following line prevent the .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being viewed by Web clients.


<FilesMatch "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</FilesMatch>

"^\.ht" search for all file which start from .ht and disable access for all web clients.so it .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being viewed by Web clients.
