RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^\tata.html$ /file.html

OK, on the RewriteBase part, you got to put your subdirectory
RewriteBase /sub1/

Then

RewriteRule ^tata.html$ file.html

should work...but I would have to test it...you just want to rewrite tata.html to file.html, correct?

Not sure but ...

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ file.html

If you want the wildcard before the .html part ;)

that would make any html file rewrite to file.html

Thats what the guy asked it seem .. hehe

Try this:

RewriteEngine On
Options -indexes
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ /DIRECTORY/$1.html [L]

Replace DIRECTORY with a sub. If you do this:
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ /$1.html [L]
It would create a loop and fail.

Or for a dynamic solution:
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ /view.php?cat=$1 [L]

Creating a file called view.php to accept variables would then do this:
/free-sex-pics.html would translate to /view.php?cat=free-sex-pics

You could then have the view.php create a page with titles, alt tags, headers, etc for search engines.

Hope it helps.

Here is another good page, but a long read.

DerekT , thanks for the php part and variable ;)

No problem. I had a project a while back to create a totaly dynamic sex toy store. I took their entire spread sheet, imported it to MySQL, create custom php, download all the images and thumbnails. Walah, a toy store, with search engine friendly pages numbering over 15,000 products. The sweetness of it is when there are changes in the search engines, I can tweak just two files and all the products are updated to rank better.
