Right so, if I am correct, you want people who go to http://www.nwnwstudentforum.org to be redirected somewhere else, but people who go to a specific file, i.e., http://www.nwnwstudentforum.org/my_file.doc, to be able to download that file? If so do you have an FTP client (to upload files with)?

If you don't have one of these go to one of the following and download the trial version:

http://www.smartftp.com/?smartftp
http://www.ftpplanet.com/downloadLE.asp
http://cuteftp.com/cuteftp/

When you do that you need to set them up to take the FTP address and password that the host should have supplied you with. Then you can upload files... Open notepad and type something like the following:

Code: Select all<html>

<head>

<title>Redirecting....</title>

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http://www.domain.com/link.htm">

</head>

<body>

Redirecting you somewhere else.  If your browser does not do this autmatically please click <a href='http://www.domain.com/link.htm'>here</a>.

</body>

</html>


Save that as index.htm and upload it to the root directory (normally something like public_html.)

That is a bit of a vague answer, but without specifics I can't really do more than that - if it doesn't help ask again and I'll see what I can do.

i am with 123-reg and if i have to do all that I'm not gonna bother its much too complicated. I thought I could upload via the 123 reg website but clearly not.

They might have a web based file upload system, but you'd need to ask them.
