Hi,
You can add an .htaccess file to the directory and use the allow directive:
[httpd.apache.org]

Here is an example from a working system, to restrict access to the admin folder to IP addresses in the LAN:
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 10.176
Make sure your file is .htaccess and not .htaccess.txt.
