1. Install URL Rewrite module installed.
2. Open `web.config` file.
3. Add or modify the `<system.webServer>` section with the following

```xml
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Rewrite to filename.rtf">
                    <match url="^filename$" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="filename.rtf" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
