I want to rename one of my web pages so I need to set up a 301 redirect.
Currently, I just drag and drop individual files (my web pages) on the right and I did set up a file called .htaccess for the 301 redirect, but it does not work.
These are all of the folders on the right as they appear now:
_db_backups
aspnet_client
stats
And these are the files as they appear now:
gdform.asp
google longnumber.htm
welcome
.htaccess
index.htm
chapter-twenty.htm
and my other pages listed as individual files
I think I set up the 301 redirect properly, but I suspect that the .htaccess needs to be in a folder with the rest of my website. If so, how do I set up that folder and what do I name that folder?

First, are you sure your hoster does support .htaccess files? Not all do.

This is what GODADDY says:
".htaccess works on our Linux servers."
The following is what I put in the .htaccess :
redirect 301 /matthew-5-14.htm
http://example.org/matthew-5-14-meaning.htm
".htaccess works on our Linux servers."

And you are on Linux hosting?This is what GODADDY says:
".htaccess works on our Linux servers."
I cannot help with .htaccess itself. We do only deal with FTP here.
