   I have worked on this for too many hours and although it seems like it should be simple, I'm crying uncle.

   I used to have a bunch of PDF files located under a directory named Papers. When I moved over to WordPress, I put these papers (many of them) in a different password-protected directory. I have no difficulty writing individual Rewrite 301 instructions for each file, but there are too many to do this way.

   I need a RewriteRule that sends anyone looking for any file under the old Papers directory (http://www.mywebsite.com/Papers/*.*) to a single landing page in my WordPress site.

   Someone's help would be MOST appreciated! Thanks.

   How about this?

   RedirectMatch 301 ^/Papers/.*$ http://www.your-domain.com/your-landing-page

   EDIT: untested, use at your own risk. ;-)
