Thanks John for your reply. 

I have checked that http://yourserver.com/dokuwiki/data/pages/wiki/dokuwiki.txt 
is no more accessible but I want to achieve the appropriate security settings 
by tweaking .htaccess file (without moving the files/tampering the directory 
structure).

Could you please help?

Are you talking about this page: 
<http://www.dokuwiki.org/security#move_directories_out_of_docroot>?

My guess would be that you moved it to a new location that is still web 
accessible, and I thought the goal was to move it OUTSIDE the web tree?  Our 
wiki lives in /var/www/html/, but the data folder is /var/www/wikidata/, which 
is "outside" the web accessible content in the 'html' folder.    (Hope that 
makes sense).

But as I said above, that is just a guess...
