Any .htaccess masters?
 

I need some sort of .htaccess rule which will do the following:
I have a bunch of images in a folder that are hotlinked on other servers.I want to delete all these images and redirect all these 404`s so that instead of the hotlinkers getting a nice red X they`ll get a new image I`ll upload to my server.
I know there is a way to do it but I don`t know how.Anyone?

rewriteEngine on
rewriteRule ^http://www.your-site.com/directory-of-images/(.*)$ http://www.your-site.com/newfile.jpg [R=301,L]

everything after 'rewriteEngine on' should be on one line..

Thanks for the help!
Since I was planning to delete the images anyway I found a simple rule for 404`s:
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com/newfile.jpg

Thanks again!

Not sure how much / what sort of traffic you have on that domain, but that could be a waste of valuable non-image 404 traffic. The following code will redirect image "404s" to a default image, normal "document" 404s will be treated "normally".

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-U
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|jpeg)$ /your_path_to/new.gif [L]
# the following is for normal 404s
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.your404.com

Oh, thanks for reminding me.
