Eeeeek! I'm being hot-linked!

[bill]

I know I could use an .htaccess file to take care of this,
but I've heard that this conflicts with FP extensions. Is
there a way to take care of this problem from within FP?
Please tell me yes and how. Thanks much. Bill

Does your hosting package include the web masters Control Panel??
If so check for a feature named Hot Link Preventor.

If not, create a file named .htaccess using notepad that contains the following edited to reflect
your domain name and place a copy in the folders that contain images:

SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://www.domainname.com.com/" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://www.domainname.com.com$" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://domainname.com.com/" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://domainname.com.com$" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^$" locally_linked=1
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|png|jpe?g)$">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from env=locally_linked
</FilesMatch>

To save it with the name .htaccess click File > Save as and enter ".htaccess" with quotes.

[Guest]

Steve,

Thanks and God bless you.

My hosting package doesn't have the hot-link preventer
thing in the control panel, so I'll try the .htaccess
solution you suggest (the hosting guys suggested a similar
solution).

In poking around the web before I landed at this News
Group I saw warnings about using an .htaccess file with
Front Page.

Will there be any conflict - or will placing the .htaccess
file in the image directorys (I've kept all images in
seperate directories) avoid the probelm?

Thanks again and again.

Bill
