Do some research on .htaccess files, does in fact stop anyone from writing, accessing, etc., that is not authorized through htaccess files. No way to get to the directories that have these files, not even the spiders or crawlers because they are completely protected from htaccess... period. Unless someone has your server or FTP client password and can bypass them by deleting them or altering them. Other than that it is almost impossible since the htacces file catches them with a password requirement while surfing to those directories.
