title: Redirect "virtual folder" to private folder using .htaccess
body: <p>I have trouble understanding the rewrite rules. I've tried a couple, but none seems to work.</p>
  
  <p>I have a folder let's say in root/private/images/ that I want to be accessed using <a href="http://website/private_images/" rel="nofollow">http://website/private_images/</a>. My website is being served from root/public/, which should be where the .htaccess file is.</p>
  
  <p>I would need something like this I guess (which doesn't work):</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule private_images/(.*) ../private/images/$1
  </code></pre>
