I just realize people use Free Download Manager (FDM) they can get all files on the site so how to I set up banning people using this download manager from htaccess
thanks
 
It appears from their website that Free Download Manager simply starts at the index file and then follows all links.

There are a lot of programs that do that.

Since it's using ordinary http to get the files, and following links, it's doing exactly what a web browser does.

I suppose you could write a proxy for, or rewrite, apache, to not allow connections from a server sending the specific header information that Free Download Manager sends.

Would you do this for wget, and the dozens of other programs that do the same thing?
