OT:Is this the right forum for HTML help?

[tesco samoa]

i guess if you read the directory of contents... then you can just let them download what ever...

I have been pointing to the directory so far but I don't think that's a "nice" solution.
Will check the links.

The "down ad" wants a fixed filename I belive...
Will check how to do it myself then,

thanx

Darned again.
The do it yourself works for me, but you have a fixed filename....

It's too bad you can't use ASP. I have a script that lists contents of any folder / file. You can sort, hide certain extensions, etc. I use it VERY frequently in our Intranet for issues just such as yours....

[tesco samoa]

here is how you do that in php
this file will read everything in the directory and the person can right click and save as
just put this as a file in the directory and then call it download.php or something and get the person to link to that. you can add stuff to it etc... to make it all pretty like

installing php is easy... php.net

I don't want them to be able to download from the list.
The CGI upload form works great.
the do it yourself download form works with fixed file names.

What I want is a table with the files in the turnfiles directory, and a way to get an automatic download of the only file in the gamefile directory when you press the download current gameturn icon

This is how it looks now:
