Upload an image to your own server and redirect all hotlinks to it.

hot link protection is the only answer

Ok, I've tried using this site to add hotlink protection, and I followed their directions, but I can't get it to work for me. I keep getting this message in my FTP:

550 Permission denied on server. You are restricted to your account.

Any ideas?

I just found this: "does not currently allow you to upload .htaccess files to your account."

Grrrrrrr! Figures. Thanks anyway.
