Hyperlinking

[rvjimmy]

i have some image on my site that i think people are hyperlinking on their site is there any program that can tell if any of the image is hyperlinked to other site i'm trying to conserve my bandwith

You can always search your logs and see if the image is being requested from a certain ip a lot. You could then do an ip deny, it seems.

You can also turn on hotlink protection so they won't be albe to get the image to their servers - that's the kind of situation hotlink-protection is meant to prevent.

i guest i have to go with rickeyz beacause before my domain point to total i was using my ip when i enable the hotlink it black out the img

 

rickeyz how do u setup the ip deny

[TCH-JimE]

Hi,

 

Under CPANEL there is a IP deny link, click on it and enter the IP number.

 

Remember if its on a dial up, the IP banning will be pointless, and if someone wants to visit your site with the IP address, they wont be able too.

 

You can use * instead of numbers, but that may lead to major problems so be careful

hi Jim / borfast

 

i try doing the hyperlinking but it doesn't seems to work, i have a 1meg (wmv) in a subdirectory name 055504 when i add the wmv extension and enable it and then ope up the directory in explorer www.mysite.com/055504/ when i click on the 1 meg video file media player would pop up and give this error

 

Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server. The server name may be incorrect or the server is busy. Try again later.

 

once i disable hotlinking and click on the file it would play ok, this is what i have in the url box to grant access is this correct, i have no subdomain or anything
