Transparent page forwarding on an HTML Page

[bernie321]

Hi

We have an index.html page that is in the root folder of our site.

Currently search engines are indexing this page.

We need to move the page into a sub-folder but want to know how to forward the page so google etc will start to index the new page in the sub folder?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
B

There are two basic possibilities :
[ul]
[li]Using redirection, by sending 301 Moved Permanently or 302 Found response status, according to HTTP/1.1.[/li]
[li]Using URL rewriting, if is supported, according to your web server's documentation.[/li]
[/ul]
What web server are you using ? Maybe you will get better answers in the web server's forum.

Why do you need to move it to a subfolder?
