Question Stop people leeching my files

Hi,
Whats a good way to stop people linking to my server and stealing my files?
I dont want anybody to be able to download from my site unless they are currently at my site.

Use mod_rewrite ->
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yoursite.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yoursite.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yoursiteip.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule /*$ http://www.yoursite.com/ [R,L]


This will protect your images and files from being used outside your site - it essentially stops hotlinking. Change yoursite to your domain name in each case and yoursiteip to the ip address of your server that your domain name resides on...

I think you can create an .htaccess file and put those lines in it. if not I think you need to insert them into your httpd.conf.

correct me if wrong Joe
