Here is a "short-cut" form that goes in .htaccess and will "require" that the file (extension) be referenced from a "local" http call to work/be downloaded. This example is for exe, png, gif, jpg (mostly graphics) but should be able to be modified for just about any extension (.zip, .gz, etc) SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "yourdomainname.here" local_ref=1 <FilesMatch ".(exe|png|gif|jpg)"> Order Allow,Deny Allow from env=local_ref </FilesMatch> -- Larry Smith SysAd ECSIS.NET [EMAIL PROTECTED](Office) _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
