+[[!meta title="How do I redirect visitors from my web.mit.edu or www.mit.edu URL to my scripts.mit.edu website?"]]
+URLs on web.mit.edu (e.g., http://web.mit.edu/jbarnold/ or
+http://web.mit.edu/\~jbarnold/, the tilde is optional) point to the
+top level of your Athena locker (/mit/jbarnold in this case).
+
+URLs on www.mit.edu (e.g., http://www.mit.edu/\~jbarnold/, the
+tilde is required) point to the www subdirectory of your Athena
+locker (/mit/jbarnold/www).
+
+If you want visitors to your web.mit.edu or www.mit.edu URL to see
+your scripts site instead, first, cd to the directory corresponding
+to your web.mit.edu or www.mit.edu URL (for example, my directory
+/mit/jbarnold/www corresponds to the URL
+http://www.mit.edu/\~jbarnold):
+
+athena% **attach jbarnold**  
+athena% **cd /mit/jbarnold/www**
+
+Next, create a **.htaccess.mit** file in this directory and add
+rewrite rules to it. For example, if I wanted to redirect both
+**http://www.mit.edu/\~jbarnold/** and
+**http://web.mit.edu/jbarnold/www** to
+**http://jbarnold.scripts.mit.edu**, I would add the following two
+lines:
+
+**Redirect 301 /\~jbarnold http://jbarnold.scripts.mit.edu**  
+**Redirect 301 /jbarnold/www http://jbarnold.scripts.mit.edu**
+
+The first line handles redirecting http://www.mit.edu/\~jbarnold to
+http://jbarnold.scripts.mit.edu and the second line (which is
+completely independent) handles redirecting
+http://web.mit.edu/\~jbarnold to http://jbarnold.scripts.mit.edu.
+
+Finally, if you placed this in your locker, rather in the www
+subdirectory, you may need to give the web.mit.edu server access to
+your locker, so it can read your .htaccess.mit file (warning: this
+will also cause all the files in your locker to be readable over
+web.mit.edu):
+
+athena% **fs sa . system:htaccess.mit read**
+
+You should check that the redirect is working, and that people
+cannot read your personal files via web.mit.edu (e.g.,
+http://web.mit.edu/jbarnold/).
+
+You can find more information about .htaccess files and Apache
+Redirect rules via Google. IS&T has a
+[website about .htaccess.mit files](http://web.mit.edu/ist/web/reference/web-resources/https.html),
+but it focuses on restricting content, not redirects. If you have
+questions about how you should set up your .htaccess.mit file, feel
+free to contact us by e-mailing scripts@mit.edu.
+
+You can also
+[redirect visitors from your scripts.mit.edu site to another website](http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/63).
