Hi, I have this site that has a directory with some files. A few weeks ago, two web bots started sucking those files at an impressive rate. I've put a .htaccess file like this in the directory: AuthType Basic AuthName files AuthUserFile /home/foobar/public_html/files/.htpasswd require valid-user My question is if this is enough to stop the bots from sucking the files or do I have to make Rewrite Rules for the bots and put them in the .htaccess file ? It seems odd to ask this here, because I should be able to see it for myself, but I have the site on a hosting service and I don't have access to the logs. Only at the beginning of the next month.
