how do I redirect a folder

I am in need of help.

I have written several articles that I posted to article directories for seo purposes, but know realise that I have made an error in the link back URLs to my site. From looking at my stats, it turns out that I am missing out on some significant traffic due to this. The error I made in the URL was a mis-spelling of a folder name ( the same error in all of the articles I sent out).

Can any one tell me of a way to just redirect the folder name while keeping the file name. I don't really want to have to add all the individual file names in my .htaccess file as there are quite a few.

e.g. sitename.com/bad folder name/blahblaw.html to sitename.com/good folder name/blahblaw.html

Thanks in a dvance

 

just use:

redirect /badfolder/ http://www.domain.com/goodfolder/

Code (markup):

and that acts as a wildcard

 

You can do it via cpanel also, if you have cpanel.

 

Thanks,
Works like a charm.
