Our "refer"
script requires users to visit your site before downloading selected files. This
effectively eliminates other sites from directly linking these files, insuring
that they link your site rather than individual files on your site. The "refer"
script is usually used to control access to unique content. If you have a .mov
file on your site, but want to make sure that no other site directly links to
that .mov file, then you'll want to use this utility:
1. Create a refer
subdirectory inside your htdocs directory.
2. Initialize your refer support by following http://yourdomain.com/cgi-t/refer.cgi?init.
3. Upload your access-controlled
files into the refer directory.
4. Use the following HTML code to access
files in this directory:
<A HREF="/cgi-t/refer.cgi/filename">
for example,
place a file called wow.mov into your refer directory, and link it:
<A HREF="/cgi-t/refer.cgi/wow.mov">
Please note:
Refer works with and depends on individual browser referral information. Because
of this, no guarantee is made as to the reliability of the service.
