Listing files in a folder

S

SteveW

I have a bunch of files in a folder that I want users to be able to access via a web page. Is there a way in Front Page 2003 to have a page automatically list all the files in a folder without me having to go and create a hyperlink for each one?

I'm not sure if this is really the way to go, but you could just put them in a folder without an index page.

Remove the default home page from the folder (such as index.htm, etc.,) and
make sure the host allows directory browsing on that directory. Then when
www.mywebsitename.com/foldername is accessed, it will show the files within
the directory.

As long as they could access abd browse the folder within a web page that would be fine. Can you do that and if so how?

Place them in a folder with no html pages in it and then enable "folder browsing" for the folder.
