How to deny access to a directory on the entire server?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Hello! There are a lot of directories on the server, their paths are something like this (different):

/uploads/files/1/art/
/uploads/post/art/
/uploads/files/2/art/
/uploads/post/25/art/

And so on.... They are created automatically as news is added to the site. Maybe somehow it is possible to deny access to all directories with the name " art " and to all files from the root .htaccess file, but so that php scripts can access them to add, say, to a backup?

Answer 1

<Directory  ~ "art">
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from localhost
</Directory>
