    selvam, if the files have a URL pattern to it you could use mod_rewrite instead of listing all 5000 urls.

    For example if its in a shape like:
    xyz.com/a/b/c

    and you are trying to do a 301 redirect to:
    xyz.com/a-b-c

    you can write a modrewrite rule for it in your .htaccess file.

    I'm no expert at regular expressions so I'll let someone else chime in, but it is possible IF you have a starting pattern and ending pattern in mind.
