    Disable Hot-linking Files

    Hi,

    I'm using the following lines on my .htaccess:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?domain.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
    RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|txt|pdf)$ - [F,NC]


    I'm using this lines to avoid links to a files from external websites but how can I redirect that traffic to the index of the website or any other page?

    Edit your last line to point wherever, something like;

    Code:
    RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|bmp|txt|pdf)$ /folder/page.php [L,NC]
    PS - wrong section

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
    RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

    Why would you want to disable hot linking? As far as I can tell...at least at the time of writing, a hot linked image is beneficial in comparison to it being hosted. I believe that images that are hosted on other websites gives some "value" back in terms of SEO value.
