How to prevent a file from direct URL Access?

by

Try the following:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?localhost [NC] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?localhost.*$ [NC] 
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg)$ - [F]

Returns 403, if you access images directly, but allows them to be displayed on site.

Note: It is possible that when you open some page with image and then copy that image’s path into the address bar you can see that image, it is only because of the browser’s cache, in fact that image has not been loaded from the server (from Davo, full comment below).
