Directory 301 redirect but not files

[Pass the Dutchie]

So far I am unsuccessfully trying to preserve some inbound links from returning a 403 and would appreciate some help.

Basically, can I return a 301 for a directory without redirecting all the pages within the directory?

Yes, by using a pattern that looks to see if the requested URL-path ends with a slash, or if it has more path-information following that slash.

Thanks Jim. I found another way by placing index.php into the directory and redirecting that file.

Cheers

That doesn't sound like the best way to do it.

Two lines of .htaccess code will do what you want at the server level, without invoking any disk reads to fetch files first.
