In this tutorial you will learn how to setup your CSS's HTTP redirect to use AlienX Servers Client Redirect Service.

Follow the steps one by one, take your time to read these steps as it can get confusing.

Step One - Obtaining a FTP Client

You will require a FTP Client, in this tutorial i will be using FileZilla - go ahead and download and install it.

Step Two - Logging into the FTP Server

Load up FileZilla and enter the following information into the Host, Username and Port fields

The information you require here would have been emailed to you when you bought your CSS server

After having entered the information, press the Quick Connect button to connect to the fast download server

Step Three - Creating your personal redirect

Now create your own folder by Right Clicking in the Remote Site panel, and selecting Create Directory
(Please take care to right click onto a empty space, and not on a folder, if you right click on a folder it will attempt to create the directory inside the folder you right clicked on)

Create yourself a directory
Fill in a folder name thats relevant to your server (your servers IP address and port might be a good idea, like so: 78.129.164.70_27105)

Once you have done this, you will need to open your Counterstrike Source's server.cfg file from tcadmin and insert this line at the bottom of the file:
sv_downloadurl "http://fastdl.alienxservers.co.uk/MyNewFolder"
Where MyNewFolder is the folder you just created

Step Four - Creating the correct directory structure

Now you can see that your folder has been created, double click it to enter it

We are going to upload a map called glass_war, which we will pretend it is in your servers map rotation, obviously just learn here how i upload the map , and repeat the upcomming steps to upload your custom maps

This is where it gets confusing, and yet its the most crucial part of this tutorial and the HTTP redirect...
The directory structure MUST match the structure of your server, for example - a Maps directory structure would look like this:
-cstrike
--maps
---glass_war.bsp

the redirect MUST follow the same directory structure - in the Remote Site pane (Red box in step three), keep creating the directorys that you require... in this example im uploading a map, so the first directory i will create will be called "cstrike" as you can see below:

Then i will create a folder called "maps" inside the "cstrike" directory like so:

Now i upload my map to this folder

Keep repeating the steps of creating the folder structure and uploading the required files, and your done!
