Denying Read Access to File Extensions

I have enabled FancyIndexing for my server and I am wondering how I can block read access to just certain file extensions. I know I can block people from seeing certain files with the directive, but I want users to be able to list the contents of a directory but block them from actually downloading certain file extensions. Is there a directive to do this?

RE: Denying Read Access to File Extensions

This is one of the settings that comes in a default httpd.conf file. As
below...

AccessFileName .htaccess

Order allow,deny
Deny from all


It is very easy to add for any file extension.


Order allow,deny
Deny from all
