.htaccess redirect folder to a url

Question

I'm trying to redirect a folder and all its sub files to a URL with a .htaccess file.

But

Redirect 301 /abc/cba/ http://www.aaa.com/

Will make /abc/cba/ddd/index.html redirect to http://www.aaa.com/ddd/index.html

What I want is redirect /abc/cba/ /abc/cba/ddd/index.html to http://www.aaa.com/

Could anyone help? Thanks. If anything not clear, please let me know.

I perfer the following method:

 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  ^/somedir           [NC]
 RewriteRule /(.*) http://somesite.com/lost/$1 [R=301,L]
