Its happend to me, even with clients, I show them a prview, they copy the preview, and cut it and do the html or something and not pay me.

Thats why I tagg all my images now.

@Drk - I need to talk to you about that very idea of payment;)

Anyone care to share the code? Please!:)

Hi. This is what I use on my site. I use it for all my files. The key is to place it above the files with images in them. I keep images that I want to link to other sites in another folder. Just for your FYI.

I have others, but haven't gotten around to putting them up. Just remember to change the "your site" twice. One has "www" and ther other... well, you get the idea. ;)

do u use that in a php file ^?

No. You just save it as text. I suggest htaccess.txt. Then you upload it to the server. Once on the server, rename it to: .htaccess There is NOTHING before the "."

You should email your host and ask if mod re-writes are set up. It's very easy for them to do. Most hosts have it. If you want, you can send me a link and I'll try and see if it works.

[PS: I emailed/PM'd you, Mist... earlier]

Wouldn't it be better to place it in the base directory of FTP?

I just dump one .htaccess file to /httpdocs and it works for my entire site..(helpful when I need to set Options All)

I put mine in my image directory.

If you don't want to link any pictures outside, then sure. But I also post on other sites and have linked avatars and pictures. If my htaccess was at the root, then I wouldn't be able to do that.

I have a page that people upload images/audio files and post links on others sites of their choice

my problem is I started this free service to be used on few sites less thant 5 sites.. but some of them link to as many as they feel like..

can I use this .htaccess to manage that directory to allow only these sites to link?

need I to put in their URLs/IPs to allow them and block the rest of the world?

Thanks

Hi. Yes, just put right below yours with 'www' and without.
