I am trying to create a permanent htaccess redirect (301) from all files in one directory in one domain, to another domain as follows:

Redirect all files in the following directory:

http://www.primary.com/apples/*

To:

http://www.secondary.com

I am not very experienced with htaccess and was wondering if someone can assist me in creating this redirect?

Many thanks in advance!

This should work in one .htaccess file at primary.com root directory:

Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.primary\.com  [NC]
RewriteRule ^apples/(.*)  http://www.secondary.com/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
