apache - How to redirect all items in subfolder 1 to subfolder 2 but not subfolder itself with htaccess (permanent redirect) -

we have rebuilt website , problem of our partner websites still link downloadable files on our server.

so illustration link might example.com/download/something.exe or example.com/download/something/abc.msi

what need if goes within folder /download/ part should substituted /download-old/ if goes example.com/download/ should leave is.

for redirection, have 2 options:

you can utilize simple redirectmatch apache directive

redirectmatch ^/download/(.+)$ http://%{http_host}/download-old/$1

note: line can placed , outside line <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>. makes utilize of mod_alias, create sure enabled.

you can utilize rewriterule

rewriterule ^download/(.+)$ http://%{http_host}/download-old/$1 [l,r=301]

note: can placed before ### boost start ### line

apache .htaccess redirect subfolder
