File List

[Dodg]

I have a public directory on my server where I would like make a link point
to it to show a list of files within. The list is to show the file name,
size and date created. Once the list is displayed one could then click on a
file to show its contents. How do I do this?

There are various ways to do what it seems you want to do!
1. Share the server directory, create a start up script on all the client
computers with the following information
net use * \\servername\sharenameonserver
This way when the clients start up their boxes, they automatically have a
drive in MSexplorer linked to the network share.
2. Create a new WEB on Microsoft IIS, set the web directory as being your
server´s public directory. Then change the new web site properties as to
allow READ and Directory browsing permissions. When clients query the web
server through Internet explorer http://servername they get a list of the
files held in the public server.
3. last but not least.... Create an FTP site in Microsoft IIS set the ftp
directory as being your server´s public directory. Get your clients
connecting to it through ftp://servername .

Good luck hope it was what you needed!
