Hi, I have a list of at least 10 sites that are hotlinking pictures and using a lot of bandwidth. I would like to selectively list these sites in my htaccess to block them- rather than block everything. I haven't seen this option anyway yet. The 2nd question with the most popular htaccess method, is just to allow sites that you want to hotlink like Google. Could someone give me a list of sites/search engines that you would ALLOW to hotlink, as I do not want to block any beneficial site or anything that can make my site loose out as a result of blocking sites from hotlinking. Kind Regards, James
A site called "eyecreate.ca" has an htaccess wizard that is a snap to us. Just fill in the lanks and selct allow or deny. Now you can selectively block certain users. Here is an example of what it looks like: <Limit GET POST> order deny,allow deny from all allow from 199.166.210. allow from .golden.net allow from proxy.aol.com allow from fish.wiretap.net </Limit>
