## Apache Configuration Sections

Configuration directives can be limited by using "sections", such as

- Directory
- Location
- Files
- VirtualHost
- DirectoryMatch
- LocationMatch
- FilesMatch

### Within .htaccess

Note that only `Files` and `FilesMatch` can be used within `.htaccess` files.

Examples:

    <Files .htaccess>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </Files>

Examples:

    # deny access to any tilde backup files
    <Files *~>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </Files>
