I agree with David, if you really don't want anybody to have direct access to it, don't put it in the webroot.
That said, you can have files in a particular folder in your web site that you deny access to by using the .htaccess file. You deny the whole directory, specific files, or even set it up to require authentication. Look at the Apache site, or Google how to do this.
