Hot Linking

[Hyde the darker side]

Hi Folks

A bit of a "top post" here...

Do I take it that no one has a difinative solution to hotlinking a FrontPage
enabled site running on a unix box?

It's all gone very quiet in here.

Thanks in advance.
Hyde.

FP controls the htaccess on Unix sites
If you use any tools that affect htaccess, you probably also affect the FP SE

Repair or reapply the FP SE, open you site in FP and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks
- and don't use your Cpanel again

PS
IMHO
Hit counters are a waste of time and effort
- use your server logs

Hi Stefan

Many thanks for your post. The site is running just fine having edited the
htaccess file in the images and media sub-folders outside of FrontPage.
Except that webbots and activex content are all adversely effected by
applying hotlinking. Cutting the appropriate lines of code from these
htaccess files restores my site to full functionality without having to
repair or reapply the SE's.

Blocking hotlinking (amongst other cPanel features) is more important to me
than using FrontPage. So if the might of Microsoft has not managed to
either, overcome the restrictions shown above, or provide equivalent
protection via the SE's then I'll be changing the web publishing software I
use.

I'm just disappointed that this course of action appears to be my only
option, since in all other respects I enjoy using FrontPage.

Regards
Hyde.

Apache / UNIX servers and the FrontPage extensions they use are not a Microsoft or a FrontPage
issue.
The FP extensions used on Apache/Unix are written by Ready To Run Software. www.rtr.com.

That said, have you tried the method where you disable hotlinking for individual folders instead of
globally for the site??

Create an .htaccess containing the following, obviously changing domain to the correct name.
Also, do **NOT** change the spelling of Referer as it needs to be just like it is.

SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://www.domain.com.com/" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://www.domain.com.com$" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://domain.com.com/" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://domain.com.com$" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^$" locally_linked=1
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|png|jpe?g)$">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from env=locally_linked
</FilesMatch>

Then drop it in the images folder or any folder containing images you want to protect.

Hi Steve

Yes I'm afraid that I tried your method below and reported back my findings
in this thread dated 24th Feb.

For images, it did nothing. I could still load an image in my browser by
directly typing it's path. If I did this with the RewriteCond method my site
returned my custom 403 error page.

For the banner ad manager webbot, both methods stopped the ad manager from
rotating images.

For mpgs swf etc. (anything using an activeX control) the RewriteCond method
started a download dialog box. The SetEnvIfNoCase Referer method prevented
all movies from playing within the site.

For both methods the code was added one line space down from a section of
code that applies fancy indexing, and had a blank line after the hotlinking
code (a tip I found in another forum). But in any event I also tried without
the blank line at the bottom and neither changed the symptoms described above.

Have I got the above correct, or should I be doing something else?

Many thanks
Hyde.

 

[Hyde the darker side]

Yep, that's how I did it.

Hyde.

My understanding is that this needs to be a "stand alone" .htaccess file.
Don't know how it would act / interact combined with "other" scripting.

I do know that the "hotlink preventor" feature in CPanel blocks stuff you don't want blocked.

Did you set it to "Allow Direct requests"??

[Hyde the darker side]

"Allow Direct requests" was not allowed.

I believe that I need the indexing turned on to prevent the listing of files
in a folder being displayed in a browser? So the solution will need to
co-exist with other scripts.

Hyde.

Hi Steve

Just decided to look at the pages for Ready to Run Software...

It turns out that support for FrontPage SE on Unix servers will cease after
June 2006 for 2002 editions (June 2005 for 2000 editions).

So I think it would serve me a good deal better if I learn to use a
different web publishing application. I'm hoping to start to get to grips
with Dreamweaver soon.

Many thanks for all your help thus far.

Just a pitty that the collaboration between Microsoft and RTR could not be
advanced.

Regards
Hyde.

That date (June 2006) coincides w/ the end of the life cycle for FP 2002
- typically 5 years support is the norm

I've not seen any SE specifically for FP 2003, so that still leaves no
support for any version of FP after June 2006.

Please tell me different.

That's what I thought. So my original statement still stands, no support for
SE on a Unix box after June 2006.

There are no specific extensions for FP2003. FP2003 was designed to use the FP2002 or FP2000
extensions. The functions in FP2003 that requires the extensions are the same functions that
