I'm trying to avoid direct links from other sites to my site's downloadables.
My exe,zip and msi files are under /files directory. How can I avoid direct links to them?
Thanks in advance...

Add the following to a .htaccess file in your /files directory
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?mysite\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(exe|zip|msi)$ /images/nohotlink.jpg [L]
Change "mysite.com" to your domain and /images/nohotlink.jpg to an image you wish to display telling users hotlinking is not allowed.
