FTP personal web space question

I've uploaded files to the web space my ISP provides before. I have a number of files that I have uploaded to a directory I created and I'm wondering how to access that directory, if that's even possible.

I would like to make the files available to a friend in one fell swoop instead of providing her an individual URL for seven different files.

Can this be done?
 
Some ISPs don't let you have directory listings. What you could do is create an index.html page that links to all the files in the directory.

example:
open notepad and type:


<html>
<body>
<p><a href=first file's name>first file's name</a></p>
<p><a href=second file>second file</a></p>
</body>
</html>



save this as index.html and upload to the directory containing the files.
 
I created the file. If I upload it to the directory I created, the file can't be found.

However, if I upload the file to my webspace, when I access the file, I get a listing in my browser of all the files. Can't seem to do anything with them at that point.

She only lives a few miles away. I copied some files onto a floppy for her and it appears that the floppy is bad. I thought it might be easier to upload the files so she could access them.

This is turning into a bigger project than her just driving over and getting another copy.

I might just zip the files and try it that way.

But thanks though. This is kinda interesting, but I just don't have time to pursue it further. 🙂
