How do I make files and folders inaccessible to the public
on a webserver?
I want to allow execute access to a specific webservice, but
deny all other access to everything else. |

All access? Don't put the files on the server.
If you want limited access, look up .htaccess
There are many possibilities in between.

By installing passwords?
By installing a firewall which allows port 80 access only to the desired
webservice?

(1) Make sure Apache - I am assuming Apache as the webserver; substitute
by whatever webserver you are running - is not running with root
privileges and that it does not have read access to the files.
(2) Use the ".htaccess" file and/or implement Access Control Lists.

Controlling "public access" over http, ftp, shell, or, or all of them?
Who/what do you need to allow access to view or execute said
filers/programs?
