PHP redirect & url rewrite

Question

I have tried already a couple of ways using URL redirect, but I am no good in php.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/Folder/([0-9]+)$ example.com/

I have a problem, the sub folders & files of my server are case-sensitive, for example:

www.example.com/Folder/index.html

1. How can I make them case insensitive, or redirect alternative spellings to:

   www.example.com/Folder/
   

2. I also want to hide the actual URL of all sub folders and files, e.g. only the below should be shown, not any sub-items.:

   www.example.com/Folder
   

I have no CMS, only static HTML pages.

Answer 1

You can use mod_speling to allow case-insensitive URLs. It is bundled with the default installation of Apache; you just have to enable it in .htaccess:

CheckSpelling On

To hide files, turn directory listings off:

Options -Indexes
