Creating a 301 redirect

Permalink
Please can someone help me? I need to permanently redirect a number of old URLs to their new versions. I currently use CyberDuck as the ftp where all the files for the website are hosted.

If you could reply in lamen's terms, that would be appreciated. As I am a complete novice to coding and we no longer employ a digital agency so therefore I need to be able to understand how to do this.

The version of Concrete5 I am using is 5.4.2.2. I cannot install a newer version as there are things programmed on the website that we will not be able to update/amend if we installed a newer version.

In your servers root folder there should be a hidden file ".htaccess" Mine is located at /var/www/html/.htaccess

Open that up in a text editor and just add this at the end of the file..

Redirect 301 /Oldpage.html http://www.samedomain.com/newpagename.html


Not sure if this is the best answer but it's what I do.
