To transfer one folder by using 301 redirect

I need to transfer the content of one of the folders of X website to similarly named folder of Y website by implementing the 301 directive as follows:

In the htaccess file:

redirect 301 /folderA/ http://www.....net/folderA/

There are about 5 sub-folders with more than 500 webpages

Is it correct?

Thanks.

 

Yup, that's the correct method.

 

It is correct if you are running Apache, IIS on the other hand doesnt use htaccess files

 

fsmedia & AstarothSolutions ,

I really appreciate your posts.

I'm running Apache (Hosgator.com).

My further undestanding is that I don't have to list individual urls/webpages like:

redirect 301 /folderA/a.htm http://www.....net/folderA/a.htm
redirect 301 /folderA/b.htm http://www.....net/folderA/b.htm
redirect 301 /folderA/c.htm http://www.....net/folderA/c.htm
redirect 301 /folderA/d.htm http://www.....net/folderA/d.htm
redirect 301 /folderA/e.htm http://www.....net/folderA/e.htm
redirect 301 /folderA/f.htm http://www.....net/folderA/f.htm
redirect 301 /folderA/g.htm http://www.....net/folderA/g.htm
redirect 301 /folderA/h.htm http://www.....net/folderA/h.htm

"redirect 301 /folderA/ http://www.....net/folderA/" would be able to redirect traffic
to all the webpages in the folder and sub-folders.

Reason for the redirection:

Without realising it, one of my bigger websites is no longer allowed to place Google ads
(my Adsense account still active) due to noncompliance with Adsense policies found
on same of its webpages.

The ones I was to redirect are in compliance. It would be a waste if those webpages
(getting more 2,000 hits/day) are not published elsewhere.
