display directory contents as links

[akrashid]

Hi all,

I have a simple document imaging application In this application I
scan documents and then store them in PDF formats in directories that
are named A through Z. During the day I could have 200 to 300 new
files in some or all the above directories.

I was thinking that there may be a way that I could, using html create
a simple web page that would scan through the above structure and
display the PDF's as clickable links. Then a user could click on the
link and have the PDF document open up for working.

Any help or guidence will be appreciated.

I have MS Frontpage 2003, but no web server. Files are stored on a
windows server.

thanks in advance

Have your server admin set the server to allow directory browsing,
and then set your links to the directory itself.

You will also need to make sure you do not have a default /
index page setup for that directory.
