Help with 301 redirect
I'm trying to redirect one page on our web sit to another. I was told I should do a 301 redirect
so I will not lose any of our linking and or our ranking. I have access to htacess editor and did receive some help but was told it doesn't work because in out directory structure we have a folder with a name that contains a space. I guess a web broswer treats that as a %20 when it sees a space. So where I left off is changing the name of the original file to old an adding a file with the originial name. I guess I'm suppose to put this code into the file with the original name where it redirects it to a third file which is where I want people to be redirected to.

Shouldn't it show the new path. I don't want to lose any linking or my rank that I'm at right now.
