We have a website on the internet where we want to store brochures as PDF files. We will then put click-able links in emails to our customers. What this does is puts the bandwidth load on our hosted server and not on our office Internet connection or Exchange server.

Here is my question.

How do I make the files brows able to an HTTP session? I have been to sites that show the directory structure and lists the files in the directory through an Internet Browser. This way the sales guys and gals could browse to the site to confirm it is there, or the right brochure, or whatever. This would need to be dynamic so that when we (the IT department) FTP a new brochure to the site it would automatically show the new file when you browse to the site.

Is this an ASP or a script in the default.html file or what? How can we accomplish this?

Thanks,
Bob

Allow the directory the pdfs are stored in to be viewable, then config the webserver so that there is no page or default page for the url. this will make the webserver return a directory listing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up having to modify my .htaccess file.

Just make certain this is a directory dediciated to these files and nothing else.   You generally do not want to allow directory listings, as, depending on the directory contents, it can provide an attacker with valuable information.
