Direct linking?

Hiya, I'm new to this forum.

I own a free graphics website with codes (providing direct-linking) and it's hard for me to keep track of all the people using the graphics.

I was wondering if theres any programs out there that show all the addresses direct-linking to your files? I know they had a feature like that in the Webalizer web statistics charts, but unfortunately the host I have doesn't have a new version of webalizer so I can't tell where people are using the files.

Does anybody know of any programs that I could use to help with this? Confused

Thanks a bunch,
-Luna

log in via ftp and somewhere around var/home/logs/httpd or something and you'l see your raw log files, access and error logs
They can be massive (megabytes) so be warned, can always ask your host for the path

Okay, thanks..

I logged into the folder with the log files, but none of them list where the files are being used, just what pages were visited =\

Does anyone know of any other way to see who's direct linking from your site?
