htaccess to prevent root access to folders with no index.htm(l)/php - with a redirect - scripts can still be accessed

What I have in each directory.

<Files *>
    Deny From All
</Files>

I would like to put an htaccess file in my root main directory that does this:

1- prevents root access to any folder.

2- Redirects the user to one url should he try to access any root.

3- Still allow scripts to run and write in those dir开发者_如何学Pythonectories publicly.

I also want to make sure that if an index,htm(l)/ or ,php file exists, that is loaded normally.

I seem to be struggling in figuring this out.

Thanks in advance for rewriting this beginner in the right direction.

I’m not sure about your point 3. The webserver doesn’t know if an user agent is a script or a browser.
