Some ways of doing it:

Header( “Location: http://www.new-url.com” );
?>

.htaccess

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

linux: change ownership and permission for file or directory via ssh

sources: http://webtools.live2support.com/linux/chown.php, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fileowner.html

I’ve tried this 2 lines in order.

chown -R -v [username]  [directory/file]

chmod -R -v [permission]  [username]  [directory/file]

-R = recursively, including sub directories
-v = verbose, you will see it in action

Linux / Unix rmdir command

About rmdirDeletes a directory.

Syntax

rmdir [OPTION]… DIRECTORY…

–ignore-fail-on-non-empty	ignore each failure that is solely because a directory is non-empty.
-p, –parents	Remove DIRECTORY and its ancestors. E.g., `rmdir -p a/b/c’ is similar to `rmdir a/b/c a/b a’.
-v, –verbose	output a diagnostic for every directory processed.
–version	output version information and exit.

Examples

rmdir mydir - removes the directory mydir

rm -r directory - would remove a directory, even if files existed in that directory.

scp server to server

SOURCE: http://forums.serverbeach.com/archive/index.php/t-2202.html

I’ve been looking for this reference and finally found it. Thanks for them who posted it on the link above. I’ll be trying this out

Let’s begin and assume the following information:
Server A is our host where the original files are located.
Server B is where we need to copy files to.

1. Make sure on Server A you have enabled Shell access for the user account you are going to use. Let’s say our files are in /home/user1/public_html/myfiles. In this case, make sure you enable user1 shell access.

2. Login SSH on Server B, login as root “su”, or as user1 should work too so long as you stick the files in the same place.

3. Type this command:
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of Server A

scp -rv user1@xx.xx.xx.xx:/home/user1/public_html/myfiles/ /home/user1/public_html/myfiles/

notice there is a *SPACE* after /myfile/ and /home/

You will be prompted for the SSH password of user1 at Server A. Enter this, and the copy process will start.

the -r option copies everything in the directory tree.
/home/user1/public_html/myfiles/dir1/
/home/user1/public_html/myfiles/dir2/
/home/user1/public_html/myfiles/dir3/moredir1/
etc…..

the -v option is verbose, lets you see the transfer in action in your ssh terminal.

==========================

scp with -p options is better
scp -prv user1@xx.xx.xx.xx:/home/user1/public_html/myfiles/ /home/user1/public_html/myfiles/

the -p option Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file
