Hi, I am not sure if this is possible but would appreciate any help.

 

I have a URL along the lines of http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/downloads/ and I'd like to make anything in the downloads folder accessible just by visiting http://mysite.com/downloads/.

 

Essentially, I want the user to have to not type in all of those sub directories, just let the server do the work.

 

Any advise please?

So far I have this:

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.com/design/templates/default/public/downloads/$1 [R=301,L]

 

Which redirects www.mysite.com to the mysite.com/design/templates/default/public/downloads/ folder.

 

I can't work out how to get www.mysite.com/downloads to do the same though. This doesn't work:

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.com/downloads$

 

I'd also like to have it working whether www. has been used or not.

 

Thanks.
