Hi Guys
I hope you don't mind me asking this, but you two know what you are on
about and may be able to help.

As you know I have had hotlinking problems since the upgrade of the
hosting company servers.

They eventually contacted me today and basically said "here is the
program the last owner used. Get on with it yourself"

The program they used is this http://www.
michaelbrumm.com/leechblocker.html

Now, I have downloaded the files. One of which is a dll.
This dll is already showing in a folder when I open ftp. - ie: it is
still in the same place after the upgrade as it was before.

The other file I was to download were .dsw .dsp .aps files [and more]

I have no idea where these go etc as I cannot even (or ever have seen
them) so I have no idea how I can do this.

Can either of you please confirm that the hosting company have to do
this.

Thanks guys

Paul, I believe that you can block hotlinking from .htaccess - I did it on one of my sites but via CPanel. I am not sure you have that but it seems to work well enough. You basically tell .htaccess who IS allowed to access your images and all others are blocked. You specify which image extensions are applicable.

Hope that helps in some way.
