Simple 301 redirect a subfolder to another subfolder
-
Hi,
I have a number of sub-folders that I have to move, each of which contains a number of files.
subfolder A has files a, b & c
subfolder B has files d, e & f
subfolder C has files g, h & iA, B & C folders need to be X, Y & Z
Will the following work?
RewriteRule ^subfolder-A/* http://www.domain.com/subfolder-X/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^subfolder-B/* http://www.domain.com/subfolder-Y/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^subfolder-C/* http://www.domain.com/subfolder-Z/ [R=301,L]will this result in visitors to http://www.domain.com/subfolder-B/f.html being redirected to http://www.domain.com/subfolder-Y/f.html?
All on the same domain.
in reality we are talking hundreds of sub folders and thousands of files so we don't want to have to reference every file individually in the htaccess.
Thanks
