I searched before asking but I did not find an answer to this question.
I see where you have a way to block by IP address.
But how do I allow by IP address only? In other words I want to allow access to a certain folder on my web site only to me at from my IP address and block any one else.

OK a few more questions just to make sure I have got it if you don't mind.
Another person told me to do this:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from xx.xx.xx.xx
But according to your post you leave out the "deny from all" and your order is allow,deny not deny,allow. From the information on the link you posted it would seem that it can be done either way because ...
In the example I show above the default is to allow since that is listed last, BUT since I put the "deny from all" statement it would deny from all but allow that one specific IP address.
In your example the default is to DENY since it is listed last, so it would allow the one specific IP address but deny everyone else since the default is to deny. Therefore there is no need for the "deny from all" statement. Do I understand so far?
So you can have ...
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from x.x.x.x
order allow,deny
allow from x.x.x.x
But is it OK to have ...
order allow,deny
deny from all
allow from x.x.x.x |

Yes, you got it correct.
order allow,deny
deny from all
allow from x.x.x.x
|
 But the above code does not work. It denies everyone including me.
