You can create a .htaccess file to restricted certain IP access your site.

Add the following code to the .htaccess and upload it to your wwwroot.

Code:

#Blacklist
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} (?:220.120.130.55) [NC] 
RewriteRule .* - [F]

Rappie thanks for this fantastic tip. I have added the file!

Cheers.

As a result of the above attacks (which I sorted with the.htaccess file) on my site I disabled the robots.txt file (now re-enabled), unfortunatly the dammed Yahoo Slurp! crawl engine has used nearly 4 gig of my 5 gb monthly bandwidth crawling my entire site this month, I never use near this normally and I have had an email from RedFox. Is there a way or purchasing more monthly bandwidth as a one off (when I go into additional options it presents it as re-occuring charge - I should only need a small amount to make it to end of month).

Thanks in advance.

James.
