.htaccess?

[Kevin]

I'm trying to make a .htaccess file out of the IPs and stuff listed at <a href='http://www-hosting.net/denied.html' target='_blank'>http://www-hosting.net/denied.html</a>. Anyone know how?

Hi Kevin,

If you're attempting to block out specific IP addresses you can use a "blocking" technique like this:

<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
allow from all

deny from 123.33.3.22
deny from 255.255.255.255
and so on, and so on, and so on.
</limit>

You can do this as an .htacess file.

Take a look at this page:
<a href='http://www.engelschall.com/pw/apache/rewriteguide/#ToC36' target='_blank'>http://www.engelschall.com/pw/apache/rewri...iteguide/#ToC36</a> on
Apache Access Restriction for more information. And there are some great resources here as well: <a href='http://www.combatfraud.org/forum/index.php' target='_blank'>http://www.combatfraud.org/forum/index.php</a>

Is that what you're looking for?

No. I meant how to create a .htaccess file in general.

I may have missed the point but if you mean actually how to make a file called .htaccess, you can do it in notpad, just save as .htaccess and save type "all files"

Ok, this might be just stupid.

But what in candy's name is .htacces.
The free hosts I used never had this thing

.htacces is a file stored in a directory (usually root).

.htaccess can be used for a number of purposes, such as securing a directory (e.g: <a href='http://agcc.greatserversdns2.co.uk/Board)' target='_blank'>http://agcc.greatserversdns2.co.uk/Board)</a>

or for displaying custom error pages, 404.etc (http://agccworld.com/qwertyuiop).

and other stuff.

I used .htaccess often, it's a simple & easy way to keep others out.
