I have recently moved a file from one location in my website directory structure to another. Though all the linking has been properly maintained, I see I am getting 404 errors when I attempt to go the old path. I am sure I am having a syntax error but don't know exactly what the problem is.
To be specific.
I want site vistors to automatically be redirected from one location to another when they enter the old URL.

here is a easy way to get where you want to be with out using htaccess just stick that in the body of the old page and direct it to the new one, not in the head in the body

Thank you for your input, however I can not keep the old file. The reason for the need to do redirects is that I have too many files in the root directory and my host provider is indicating to me that I have to move some files.
'Redirect 301' is the command function
'/firstfile.html' is the old file relative url
'http://www.abcdef.org/nextfile.html' is the url to which
the visitor is being sent
The file holding this instruction is '.htaccess'
Notice the dot preceeding the fine name.
