If you want to secure a path on your website for access from a specific IP only, this is how to define your .htaccess
Assuming your IP is 123.45.67.89
order deny,allow allow from 123.45.67.89 deny from all
If you want to allow a range of IPs… you can enter a mask
Assuming your IP is 123.45.67.89
and need following three IP as well
Assuming your IP is 123.45.67.90
Assuming your IP is 123.45.67.91
Assuming your IP is 123.45.67.92
order deny,allow allow from 123.45.67.89/29 deny from all
Or
order deny,allow allow from 123.45.67.89/255.255.255.248 deny from all
Or for a more easy to understand approach
order deny,allow allow from 123.45.67.89 allow from 123.45.67.90 allow from 123.45.67.91 allow from 123.45.67.92 deny from all
