Display files in upload folder

[Guest]

How do I allow a user to see and download the files that have been uploaded by users? The upload fuction works great but now I want users to be able to download a file that they choose from a listing of all the files in the upload folder

You need to turn on Directory Browsing in IIS and create a link to the upload folder

How do you *want* the visitors to see them?

Do you care about security, or is it OK if people start
using your site to exchange stolen software or other
insensitive material?

Only users who can enter the secure site can upload or download a file. I do care about security but shouldn't the fact that only logged in users can see the site keep it secure? The files are not sensitive in nature. The whole purpose is to share the files with the users

OK, but do you want:

o A directory list of clickable file names, and you
don't care how it looks?
o A directory list of clickable file names, displayed
in a Web page that resembles the rest of your site?
o A list of hyperlinks, with text taken from titles
or other data inside each file? (If so, describe
the type of file.)
o A list of hyperlinks, with text taken from form
fields submitted along with the upload?
o A thumbnail of each picture (assuming they *are*
pictures)?
o Something else?

Also, if you want anything but the first option, are you
capable of creating, modifying, and or maintaining custom
program code?

I'm not a programer by any means, that's why I use the DRW and Access to do my database pages.

I would like to have a list of file names in a template if that's not too har
Would settle for just a list of filenames
