FTP Revisited
I mistakenly posted an earlier question in the Gen'l category but . .
How can I create a hyperlink to a folder of files that I want the visitors to my site to be able to download? I'm guessing this will be an FTP solution, but I'm not positive of that either. The folder to download contains ~20 files and I don't want to download each of them individually.

Create on your ISP server a folder, i.e., downloads
Put all the files you want to make available into the downloads folder. On your webpage create a link, i.e., Files to download. Highlight the word download, select Insert, Hyperlink. Type, /downloads OK Save as a Website or, it may have Publish to a website. (depending on your version of Publisher) -- Don - Publisher 2000 Vancouver, USA "Arny Hooton" wrote in message ...

in addition to what Don recommended, also put an index.html page in the
downloads folder unless you want the folder to display all the files if someone browsed to "downloads". -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Giordano Microsoft MVP Expression "Arny Hooton" wrote in message ...

I haven't found that necessary if "downloads" is a subfolder on the site. I
get the following when I don't have a default .htm file: Directory Listing Denied This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

True if the folder is set as; non-browseable already.
