CGI skills needed...

[fantasyc]

I have somebody hotlinking to one of my folders full of video clips. The folder is so large it keeps shutting down our server. I need someone who can do an .htaccess file to stop anyone from linking to me.

Anyone want to trade for content? For the moment I will remove the folder

There's been 3 threads in the past 2 days about hotlinking.

That's great, if I were only as smart as you

I can do that but where does it go??

I have zero experience with CGI. I tried a form once and I got lost on the path to my perl bin

upload it as a .txt to your movie directory then delete the .txt extension

[RedShoe]

you can do that by renaming it from "htaccess.txt" to ".htaccess"

I'm not sure but I think you need the "." in front of it. I've never tried it without.

So you just put that in the directory you don't want them to link to? So if I have a bunch of folders I put one in each?

Thanks so much, I appreciate all the help. I can hand code html and a small bit of Javascript but that'a as far as I've gotten.

I think I need to join TDavid's class at script school
