Help please! Domain being duplicated and URL spoofed many others as well

[adoptabledomains]

Looks like the domain is down.

This was discussed in another forum, and I pointed out the filter statement in english on the home page. The rest is in Chinese. It's most likely one of the following:

1. Filters activX, flash, and java from sites.
2. Filters content (political or cultural)
3. proxy to cover tracks of those visiting government filtered sites.

I jsut visited 1bu.com and the majority of it is in chinese or some foreign language but there is some english down the bottom of the page "1bu.com filters the function: You add in the back of existing websites .1bu.Com is visited, can filter FLASH above ,etc. , benefits your use. If you are a network station owner, do not hope your websites are filtered and visited , can apply to cancel . "

I did not click the link as god nows what it would actually do, or it could just simply be a way of stopping them filtering your site.

This has already been pointed out...

You need to rename it via your FTP program.

Thank you Jazz, for your clear and perfect solution to my problem.
That worked.
Unfortunately, when I FTP it over, it seems to disappear on the remote side.
I am placing it in my www directory, is that correct?
I am using an apache server.

Hi Smokey,

No problem, glad you were able to rename it..not too sure on .htaccess files myself, but I don't think they belong in your www directory, you should have an .htaccess folder in your Hosting account, i think that's where it belongs, either that, or look in your private folder.

Maybe someone else can help you sort this part out?

The default Unix "ls" command won't show files with a leading dot. "ls -la" will. The file isn't disappearing, but your FTP program is not using the correct command to show you that it is there.

Not that it's a legal issue or anything...

A very correct statement by John - btw folks, "ls -la" does not stand for "Lawyers out of LA" :-D

Thanks jberryhill,
I am using WSFTP LE , I have looked through all options and see nowhere to change the unix commands, I do see that it is set to Unix (standard)

Oh Well, I will play with it.
Its good to know that it did not just disappear into the ether.

Thanks again

The next thing you'll need to worry about is finding the equivalent of CHMOD in your ftp interface to make sure the file permissions are set correctly.

You know, you might try this the "real" way by clicking "START: RUN" in Windoze, typing in "ftp", clicking run, and then typing "o <server>" at the prompt...

Thanks John,
I will look for chmod permissions.
I appreciate the help.

the little box in the upper right corner of WS_FTP - type "-a" (without the quotes) in there

that will show you the hidden files such as .htaccess

I must have a different Ver.
Don't worry about it, I will go to my domain server and see their help files.
I appreciate the help though

Hey Everyone,
Back to 1bu , com

Or even more interesting
http://www.whitehouse.gov. ibu. com

Someone suggested that, this 1bu . com was a phishing scam, or maybe just a way for Chinese to get unfiltered interenet access.

But Seeing the Whitehouse page makes me think its not for Chinese free speech.

[Moondancer]

The most logical opinion is that 1bu.com, being an isp, sought to provide access to sites that have blocked many IPs from China due to the proliferation of spam from that country. Whatever the reason, all it resulted in for my part was getting the entire IP block stopped from accessing our servers rather than individual IP's. Spammers would use that filtering the same as regular customers so it's not an acceptable reason either. In fact I can't think of an acceptable reason to allow anyone access in this manner.

Nevermind.
