Someone has been spam downloading from me -_- I changed the filename of the file they were spam downloading and now they are just going to the old filename and getting 404 errors, how do I ban their ip with apache? I am on windows xp pro if that matters.

-_- there must be a better way.

I saw that page before but I have no idea how to work that, do I just make a file called .htaccess?

so complicated, anyone have a zip or something with premade files

im a lazy bum.

So basicly I have a file called .htaccess in my root folder and inside that folder i have

<Files *>
order allow,deny
deny from 127.0.0.1
allow from all
</Files>

where 127.0.0.1 is the ip I want to block.

Is that the only thing I have to do, or do I need to configure something else since im on windows?

EDIT: How do I make a file named .htaccess, it wont let me start a filename with a .
