Hotlinking

[troublemaker]

I think you can drop an .htaccess file in the directory(ies) and limit which sites are allowed to hotlink off of you site.

Code:

Code Select Expand


LoadModule rewrite_module     libexec/mod_rewrite.so


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$  
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yoursite.com/.*$      [NC]
 



In mine I have to do both http://yoursite.com and http://www.yoursite.com to work. I could be wrong but i think that would work. Also, I am also not sure at what level you would want to drop it into your site but I think it would be the root folder.

will this work? i just want to try and keep others from saveing my files easyly and hot linking

preventing people from saving your files, no it won't help.
preventing people from hot linking, yes it will help.

Put it in the "albums" folder.

Here.... This is what I use:

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?photo.enctu.org(/)?.*$     [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?stunion.enctu.org(/)?.*$     [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|tif|png)$ http://photo.enctu.org/noleech.jpg [R,NC]

http://photo.enctu.org/noleech.jpg is the picture that appears when they try to hotlink.

Also, make sure url rewriting is enabled on your server.
