NGINX: how to block access to all files inside some directories
I have different files inside three different directories.
I'd like to block access to all files inside those (also block directory listing).
This way, I'd block, for example:
/a/b/file
/a/c/file
/a/d/file
Whatever the file extension...
This is what I am trying:
location /a/(b|c|d) {
allow 1.2.3.4; #IP
deny all;
return 403;
}
But it's not working.
You need ~
in your location config - without it means literal prefix matching, while you're attempting to use regex syntax.
location ~ /a/(b|c|d) {
