Simple .htaccess question

I have a folder under my main directory called /files/

How would I write into my .htaccess file a command that would redirect users to www.mysite.com/files/index.html when they type in my websites web address say www.mysite.com ?

Thanks.

 

Is what I am asking imposible? If so could someone give me a better or alternate solution?

 

Something like this should work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ files [L]

Code (markup):

Put this in your .htaccess file, in your root html folder, and that's it. I tested it... seems to be working fine with me.

 

It worked! Thank you pr0t0n for your help.
