Block specific IP's from accessing directory

It the code below how I would block certain IP's using my .htaccess file?

The last 2 days I have been getting thousands of "visitors" or page hits calling my rss pages but I have them disabled. Below is what they look like on my stats. My question is will blocking the IP address that they are coming from stop this?

 

I think if you put

that should solve it

 

I was just about ask if this would work, thanks.

Should I add this to the .htaccess file or robots .txt?

 

htaccess file

 

I will give it a try - sent you + rep - thanks.

 

OK, I tried what you mentioned but I am still getting tons of rss.php request. All the request are redirected to my index.php page also?

Any other ideas to on how to block all rss.php requests would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

ok how about

 

redgsr try it in your robot file

 

I tried

in my .txt and it didn't work. It's weird I ban the IP's through Cpanel and they still get through.

I also tried something similar to

and it didn't work but I give this a shot.

 

if that don't work pm Dawzz as he might know

 

Thanks jminscoe going to drop him a line.

 

A bad bot is not going to obey robots.txt

You had the correct code in your first post:

Put that in your .htaccess file

 

From what I have been reading...

... is some sort of Google bot. Anyone had any experience with it? It is only accessing rss.php files that are not active.

Edit: Wait isn't that a browser - I'm getting tired.
