I'm trying to block access to all files (inside a specific folder)
being viewed outside of my site.

Meaning if a user types in the image's address it will redirect to a
page but still allow my site to display it.

Thanks.

I would strongly recommend against that, as not all browsers send a
Referer header, and some proxies strip them out.

Leave the empty Referer alone, and just redirect requests with non-empty,
outside Referers.

You could use a fine search engine with the conventional terminology which in
this case is "HotLink". See, for example:

http://altlab.com/htaccess_tutorial.html

OR

http://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/52/

The 'meat' of it all:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www\.example\.org/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]


Hope it helps,

Roy
