    Hi,

    Via htaccess how is it possible to redirect images to an external url.

    Example => my images path local is /images/products/productname.jpg and the external is http://www.productsurl.com/images/productname.jpg

    Can someone helps me with this ?

    Cheers,
    Kris

    I assume you are using Apache.

    Put a .htaccess file with the following code in the "products" directory:

    RewriteEngine on
    rewritecond %{http_host} ^.*$
    rewriterule ^productname.jpg/?$ http://www.productsurl.com/images/productname.jpg [R=301,L]

    Do you really need to use .htaccess to do this?

    Why not just:
    
<a href="http://www.sitename.com"><img src="imagename.jpg" border="0"></a>
    Code (markup):
    Or, am I not understanding you correctly?
