Dynamic build hyperlinks

I have a web page that is a portal to a file server. All it does is provide
hyperlinks to the files. There are thousands of files grouped into
directories for categorization. I'm looking for some one to automate the
building of the hyperlinks as the list of files change. Short of writing my
own code, I can't see any way to do this. (Presently we are manually
updating the links.)

Thanks.
 
Ask your host to turn on directory browsing for that site (w/ those folders)
- or convert the top level folder to a FP Subweb and do the same
Then just create a link to the folder

If you can use ASP and your web host allows you to use FileSystemObject, then you do not need to
have directory browsing enabled, see:
