I’ve installed Relay (the AJAX file/directory manager) on my local server on my laptop - and I just want to direct all of my folders inside my DocumentRoot (which is Users \> me \> Sites) to DocumentRoot/relay.

So, typing in [http://localhost/secretfolder/](http://localhost/secretfolder/) would direct me to [http://localhost/relay](http://localhost/relay).

However, I don’t want to use the Redirect command because I need an absolute path. RewriteEngine doesn’t work either with the relative URLs for scripts that Relay uses.

I just need a simple .htaccess command that will take me from one folder to a sibling folder - that simple. ☹

Thanks 🙂
