ban user with htaccess

[Kara]

I need to ban a user because she is being rather abusive (putting it mildly).[nbsp][nbsp]I'm actually going to issue a cease and desist, but something will have to do in the mean time.

A friend helped me with the code, but I just want to run it past y'all cuz you are way smarter then me (the friend didn't give good directions LOL).[nbsp][nbsp]Will this work?[nbsp][nbsp]Does it have to go in every folder I don't want her to access?

<code>
AuthUserFile /big/dom/xdomain/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
deny from 64.230.14
deny from 64.230.15
ErrorDocument 404 http://domain/404.html
</code>

Thanks bunches,
Kara

I think you'll find this thread goes through and explains the process in detail....

Best advise is to start at the beginning copying out the useful tidbits and by the time you reach the end the task should be completed :)

LMAO Deb![nbsp][nbsp]I'm glad I'm valued somewhere :P

Ok I followed those directions as best I could.[nbsp][nbsp]I'm not real savvy with this stuff.

I have
[code}
<Limit GET PUT POST>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
deny from 64.230.14
deny from 64.230.15
deny from 207.35.143.
</limit>

The boards can still be reached but none of the images show (cuz they are in www and not cgi?) and when she clicks a link on the boards it's forbidden hehe.[nbsp][nbsp]Good enough for government work LOL.

My vizbook script gived the forbiddin page (THANK YOU GOD!)

My classified script still works fine for the banned IP *sigh*, but what I have up will have to do for now.
