How to redirect a download file URL to another download file URL?
Means suppose i have a url like this:

http://abc.exofire.net/downloads/abc.exe

and i want to redirect it to

http://abc.exofire.net/downloads/pqr.exe
How can this be done?

Because standard Redirects are not working with file URLs.

here is my statement in .htaccess file

RewriteRule ^/downloads/abc.exe$ http://mysite.exofire.net/downloads/pqr.exe

Not Workingggg . :happysad:

Can't you just change the file name?

Can't you just change the file name?

I second your opinion. It seems that simple, anyway....

You could use mod_rewrite to cause the location "http://abc.exofire.net/downloads/abc.exe" to be constructed from a php file (abc.php); which would allow you to redirect to your "http://abc.exofire.net/downloads/pqr.exe" file via the use of the header(location:'dfsf') function.

Also for the .htaccess, you can do this.

Make a .htaccess inside your 'downloads' folder, and enter the following into it.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule abc.exe$ /downloads/pqr.exe

Should be as simple as that.
