[resolved] Prevent hotlinking files (3 posts)

    I have wordpress on my own hosting site, and I am making a blog with downloads and was wondering how I make links to files where the link always seems to change. For example instead of making the link look like this /files/program.exe where it can easily be hotlinked I want to have it so that no one can just copy the download link to their site.

    Thanks for you help.

    I am pretty sure that some hosting companies prevent hot linking to photos, but I am fairly certain that they would all have to be in the same folder.

    Cpanel has a hotlink protection button but I have never used it I will confess.
