How to Automatically Create Links to all files in a folder?

I'm trying to set up a site so that when the client ftp's files to a
particular folder...

A link to those file automatically shows up on their homepage.

This removes the risk of the uninformed client accidentally messing up the
home page.

Anyone know how this could be done?

Thanks for any help.

Click to expand...

If crudeness is acceptable, ask the server admin to turn
on Directory Browsing for the folder in question. Then,
build a link somewhere to that folder.

Otherwise, you'd need to write an ASP page that examines
the folder in question and generates a set of links. To
get started, refer to these MSKB articles: 218606, 272662.

It oculd be done using a server-side programming technology such as ASP or
CGI.
