How to set up an index webpage (not html) made up of folders that contain lists of pdf files that I can upload

1. This may be a complicated question depending on your situation. If you've got a pretty standard Apache webserver, you should be able to create a directory on your ISP, and simply upload files to it. As long as there isn't an "index.html" file (or the equivalent for your ISP), you should be able to browse the files by directory with no problem online. Example: Let's say your website is at: http://www.testme.com/scubaz28/ If you create a directory called "pdfs", then you'd be able to go to: http://www.testme.com/scubaz28/pdfs/ And you'd see the list of all the files in that directory. However, some ISP's or Apache configurations may prevent you from doing that. If that's the case, you're pretty much out of luck. If they don't allow browsing of a directory, they probably won't allow you to do dynamic web content, which is what you'd need if you were going to set something up to show people a "real-time" list of the files you have available. In that case, your best bet would be a static HTML page that you'd have to update every time you modified the list of files that was available on your server. DaveE
2. Do nothing! If your serveris set up to do directory listings then just upload your folders of pdf files. The server itself will send back a listing of the directory contents if there is no index.htm(l) or other type of index file (e.g. index.php ,default.asp). Depends on server cofiguration Test it out.
