You can set Apache Password Protection to your directories.

Look for Document Root Directory entry, then set the password for your file.And it will be done.
Setting a password for directory help to keep your data safe.following are the basic steps to password protect a directory:
1 Create the directory area and set permissions to read the area.
2 Create a file called .htaccess in the directory you want to protect.
Inthat In that file, type in these lines:
AuthUserFile /your/directory/here/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Secure Document"
AuthType Basic
<LIMIT GET PUT POST>
require user username
</LIMIT>
3 Create a file called .htpasswd in the same directory as .htaccess.
