'm using a Cobalt RAQ 2 server with Linux, and I was wondering -- is it possible to make a file point to a URL? For example, if I have a file named www.mysite.com/file.tar, when somebody requests it I'd like my server to transparently redirect them to www.othersite.com/otherfile.tar. I'd really like it to be transparent and unnoticable to the user. Is that possible, using a .htacces file or something? I've seen it done on FTP sites, and I was wondering about Web sites.
Thanks, Ishamael

You can try 2 things:
1) Use a 100% frame with the other file as source: <FRAMESET ROWS="100%" COLS="100%"> <FRAME SRC="www.othersite.com/otherfile.tar"> </FRAMESET> 2) Or you can use a META redirect <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1; URL=http://www.othersite.com/otherfile.tar"> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> </HMTL> The CONTENT parameter says how long to wait. You can give the body some backgoundcolor so it looks like the page is loading, while it actually is going to another URL. ------------------ Good luck, Bas ------------------ E-mail me at: b.vandermeijden@pecoma.nl

Since it isn't you migh want to use an Apache conf file. Check out http://www.apache.org ------------------ Regards, Jay A Betancourt Pixbay Web Hosting http://www.pixbay.net
