Redirect URL
Feature Overview Redirect URL lets you change the file that appears when a specific file's address is entered. For example, you may redirect people who might be using old URLs that are still on your website, but are no longer valid. This option allows you to redirect them to current URLs. Note: In order to use the Redirect URL option, Microsoft FrontPage Extensions must be disabled. If it is enabled, you must use your version of Microsoft FrontPage to protect the directories.
Redirecting URLs To add a redirect URL:
1 In the Directory field of the Directory Redirection Manager, select the directory in which the file you would like to apply is found, enter it in the Directory field, and click Load.
2 Place the file you would like to redirect from the in box to labeled From.
3 Place the file you would like to be redirected to in the box labeled To.
4 Click Redirect for your redirection to placed in this directory.
5 You can delete any redirection by clicking the Delete link next to the redirection you would like to delete.
6 The box at the bottom of the page allows you to make a List of Redirections. This list will inform the Directory Redirection Manager of where you want the files redirected.
7 Repeat this process for each redirection that you wish to make.
Note: Be sure that in the From field, you specify only the file that you would like the redirection to occur from. In the To field, place a URL address where you want the redirection to go. If the information in both fields is not accurate, this redirection will not work.
To remove URL redirection:
1 Select the directory where the file you originally redirected is located.
2 Click the Delete link, located to the right of the file in the List of Redirections. The redirection of the file will be removed.
