.htaccess redirect folder to a url

Question

I\'m trying to redirect a folder and all its sub files to a URL with a .htaccess file.

But

Redirect 301 /abc/cba/ http://www.aaa.com/

Answer 1

here's another example of a mod_rewrite rule that worked for me

I wanted to redirect a sub directory to the root of the same domain.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sub_directory/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
