Can I use robots.txt to protect my blog feed?

Here's the problem ..

A blogger is scraping my blog feed and putting on his website without attribution. I want to block him from scraping my feed.

Is there a code I should use to do this? I have his IP Address if that helps.


Thanks!

 

You can't block him with robots.txt because this directives are not mandatory.

You can block him with .htaccess file with a deny from ip.

 

Thanks Monty.. this is what I am using now:

But it doesn't seem to work. Is this code correct? Where do I place it in my htaccess file?

 

You should put it in a parent folder of the file/folder to protect.
If you upload it into site root it will protect the full site.

Before uploading the file please check that your webserver is Apache and your hosting provider enabled .htaccess support.

 

you can't block that, you can use a blocking tool.

 

(sorry that my post's off-topic)
kirby009, did you check the date of the last poster in the thread before you posted? -_-

 

did you tried to block that ip from your cpanel
