Hello An0ny,

I believe the mod_rewrite module is what you are looking for. For documentation take a look here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/rewrite/remapping.html

Code 
RewriteEngine  on

RewriteRule    ^/foo\.html$  /bar.html [PT]

So in your case:

Code 
RewriteEngine  on

RewriteRule    ^/randsomstring\.exe$  /1.exe [PT]

You can also use regex to match the file name. For example

Code 
RewriteEngine  on

RewriteRule    ^/.*\.exe$  /1.exe [PT]

Should match {anything}.exe and point it towards 1.exe

Hope this helped.

Kind regards

It isn't possible to count the number of files, which I assume is what you want (1,2,3,4,etc.).

.htaccess:

Code 
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^(.*).exe$ file.php?file=$1 [NC,L]

file.php:

PHP Code 


<?PHP
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
if(isset($_GET['file']))
{
    if($_GET['file']=="xyz")
    {
        readfile("abc.exe");
    }
}
?>

Put the .htaccess and the file.php into the directory where you keep the exe files and it will work.
