How to deny access to a url within htaccess – Apache

How can I deny direct access to a URL through .htaccess file?

The URL for example is

www.example.com/course/reset-password

The file is located within a course folder and the alternative and all files in that folder can allow direct access with exception of reset-password.php.

    Inside corse/.htacccess you can have just this rule to block access:

    RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /reset-password [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F]

    If you wish to deny access to a specific file (as opposed to a URL) then consider using mod_authz_core (Apache 2.4) instead of mod_rewrite. For example:

    <Files "reset-password.php">
Require all denied
</Files>

    This has less chance of being overridden than mod_rewrite.
