to make your homepage the index page, just rename the hompage to index.html

i guess what he means is somethink like direct listing, but its not something netfirms will support (neighter the FTP nor the HTTP way).

if they support php he might want to use that. but i honnestly dont think netfirms would apreaciate downloadsites.

but in any case there is a php way if netfirms support it.

and there is always the notepad+ way..

netfirms may even work for you,

as it seams they support CGI (perl) witch like PHP is a scriptable interface

and even though id have to look some stuf up (its been very long since my last encounter with perl)

i might be able to write a simple script to write an outpout of

any file in youraccount.netfirms.com/files (with the excaption of index.html and maybe .htaccess ofcaurse.

but im not verry shure if its gooing to be this weekend...

i do recomand you to change the topic of this tread to

[howto] list all files of a dir in perl

it will me more specific and probably will atract more perl programmers to this topic ...
