downloading files

jc94062

I have managed to get the PHP copy fucntion working, so can upload files that way, and, if I go back to the PHP ftp function I can get a list of files (ftp_nlist), but they are all in the form

/www.site.com/public_html/filename.php

So while I can manually set up a link

to download files, is there a way to print, my files, in reasonable format such as

file1.php
file7.php
file3.jpg
file4.htm

from a dynamic list that changes are more files are uploaded, and then select one to download.

Also, the method of download files there is crude, isn't there a better method than can be used to download any files, other than having to name them .zip files for them to be downloaded (ie naming em .htm, .php, .jpg etc... just displays them) whereas I'm sure I've been able to exe and mid files before, isn't there a way to do the same for all files?
Yes, I know the page to do this would have to be very secure :-)

Thanks a lot for any help

I am experiencing a similar problem. I have files stored on a server that are jpg doc etc files that users need to be able to view or to download but cannot figure a way to initiate the download did anyone ever figure out how to do this.
