This is a very simple utility. It is for those who have just moved all their pages to a new web site, and the new site is an exact copy of the old one. Perhaps you have just bought a new domain name, or changed the domain name for your web site. Then what you would like to have for your visitors to your old pages is something like this:
For every one of your old files on the old web site, you want a forwarding mirror to forward visitors to the same file in the identical location on the new web site.
So, if the old location was http://www.oldsite.com/folders/file.htm, then you want to replace that file by a forwarding mirror that forwards your visitors to http://www.newsite.com/folders/file.htm and so on.
It is a lot of work to make all those forwarding mirrors by hand, especially if the old site has hundreds of web pages. But Text Field Echo can make all the forwarding pages automatically for you.
To use this feature, you need to have a copy of your web site in a local folder. Then you tell TFE where it is on your computer, and tell it the base url to forward the pages to, and it does all the rest for you.
Here it is in action:
