Best is to place that directory above your webroot, so the webserver can not even access it.

[Rezafcom]

example :
www.mydomain.com/directory or www.mydomain.com/forum/directory

no need to secure by .htaccses ?
to this folder php is run !!

Not any of those. Your PHP/HTML files are in a folder called "public_html" or "htdocs". Place the attachments on the same level as this.
