Please, can you help me out. I have no idea how to work with .htaccess file.
Thank you

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]!
Controlling access using HTTP_REFERER alone is problematic. The main problem is that many times, the referer info is not presented by the browser, or it is blocked by an intervening firewall or corporate proxy.
You can read up on using .htaccess to control access by starting with this Introduction to mod_rewrite [webmasterworld.com] post, and following the links. However, I think you will need to use a scripted approach, cookies, IP-tracking, or some combination of these to do what you want to do.
