.htaccess help

Hi everybody,

I’ve been reading up on .htaccess directives the last couple days, but haven’t found out much about implementation. Say I want to use the directive for protecting wp-config.php which would be this:

# protect wpconfig.php
<Files wp-config.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Would that go before “# BEGIN WordPress”, after “# END WordPress”, or in between them? Would the same apply to other directives like this:

# secure htaccess file
<Files .htaccess>
 order allow,deny
 deny from all
</Files>

Any help is greatly appreciated!
