Question for you guys: If I am going to set up a 301 re-direct to another URL that is hosted on a different server, would I also have to upload the corresponding files to that seperate server? For example, if I redirect the page /widgets/ from my current site to the other, would I also have to upload the files /widgets/blue-widget-form.pdf to the new site so that the form would be displayed? I am not that experienced on setting up re-directs and I want to avoid any mishaps or having to do more work than is needed. Thanks for any advice.
