    Hi,

    Is it any way to complete redirect direct url?

    For example, I have some files at http://myserver/movies/1.avi
    and I want to share this movie, but I dont want to share my servers url. So I want to find any method to completly hide or redirect this link, so people will be able to download 1.avi file but they wont see real url.

    Is it any method to do this?

    I have domain (.net) but still dont know, maybe I can redirect this file to this domain? For example mydomain.net/download/1.avi ?

    is it just one file? If so its easy:
    do something like this:
    create a php page and add this code
    <?php
    header('Location: http://myserver/movies/1.avi');
    ?>

    PHP headers can still be viewed using something like Live HTTP Headers.

    If they can download it, they can see where it's coming from.

    Why not just host it somewhere else? Like RapidShare etc...
    I've been using Uploading.com to host a few files, they pay you money for each download (not a lot, but it all adds up).

    Maybe you could put the URL inside an SWF player, and stream it so it doesn't download to their temp files for one and maybe they'd need a swf decompiler to get the SWF, but i'm not sure if this is the case.
