I have a exe file on my webhost that alot of people download and i want it to redirect to a html instead.

Is this possible?

Depends on the server. If you are running Apache, then it's a simple matter of adding a .htaccess file with the right directives into the folder where the file is stored.

mod_rewrite and htaccess will do you fine.

Something like:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule exefile.exe http://www.domain.com/page.html [R,L]

Think that should work

or handle exe files as html files, no redirect needed

What if the op has other .exe that he needs to be downloaded from his users.

Think the .htaccess is the best for an apache server.

yeah, many download hosts do this to prevent hotlinking and bypassing wait.\ads
