I have a website that is being run on a Godaddy, Windows based, shared hosting account.

I want to set up my account so that I can upload files into a designated folder on my Godaddy server. I want these files to be automatically indexed so that my coworkers can type in a URL and bring up a list of the files in that folder for download. I would like my coworkers to be able to download these files through a web browser and not a ftp client. I don't need the files password protected or secured in any way.

Is there a piece of software that will allow me to do this or a tutorial I can follow? I don't have a clue how to do this. Thanks in advance.

Just upload them into a directory and don't make a index.html or index.htm page for it. Usually you then get a list of files when browsing that directory.

This didn't work but I did some research. I found a solution that I thought I would share in case someone else has this problem. It turns out that Standard behavior is that if there isn't an index.html file, going to a directory gives you a list of files in that directory as pharoer had mentioned. GoDaddy doesn't do this. They tell you it's an invalid link, instead.

However, I found some php code to fix this. I was able to copy this code and paste it into the body of a index.php file using Dreamweaver. Just in case Dancingguy reads this, Thank you. You rock and GoDaddy kinda sucks.

<?php
$files = scandir ("."); // Get the files of the current directory

$begin = "<a href=\"";
$middle = "\">";
$end = "</a>";

$rowStart = "<tr><td>";
$rowEnd = "</td></tr>\n";

echo "<table border='1' width='400' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='1' align='left'>\n";
echo "<th>Files in this Directory</th>\n";
foreach ($files as $value) {
$pos = strpos ($value, "."); // Eliminate hidden files
if (($pos === false) || ($pos > 0)) {
echo "$rowStart$begin$value$middle$value$end$rowEnd ";
}
}

echo "</table>\n";
?>
