    Simple HTML question

    Is it possible to redirect downloading link? Example, my program is located here www.sitetwo.com/program.zip, but if i click www.siteone.com/program.zip, i want it to download program from sitetwo, preferably without showing any redirection pages. I do have admin access to both sites. This is done to avoid paying more fees to software hosting companies when i switch servers. Thanks

    The easiest way would be to place the zip file in another directory, like www.siteone.com/download/program.zip and have that whole folder set to redirect to www.sitetwo.com/program.zip
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.

    Isn't this a crosspost?

    Zach, see that's the problem, the file does not exist at http://www.siteone.com/program.zip, it is located somewhere else, but I would need to redirect the non-existent link to the correct one so I could download the file from sitetwo.com using siteone.com's link. The folder redirection? I'm not really advanced with HTML, I only know basics. Anybody have any examples?

    Why don't you just download form siteone and upload the file to sitetwo. Then visitors can download the file from sitetwo and your problem will be fixed.

    zach's response also solves another problem: if siteone has some downtime for a while (forever maybe), then:
    a) you have another copy!
    b) no worries!
    if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice!

    RUSH rocks!
