Want to put a link on my webpage that links to an External HDD/Folder/Files...

Using HTML, little help?

Is this page going to be accessed locally only, are you running a httpd on the webpage etc.

Well you still haven't specified if your running Linux or Windows, but assuming it's Linux you could host a text file on the server and just have any files located in a specified folder appended to the text file.

You'd have to setup a script file with something like

ls -al | grep {print 4$} > /var/httpd/www/filelist.txt

The grep part you'd have to change to whatever fields you want displayed in the text file, or if you want all information in there just take out the grep part. Make sure to change the file to executable and then you could also setup a cron job to have the script run every 15 minutes or so.

If you're running windows, you could do something similar but I'm not sure how you would go about that off the top of my head.

dir /path-to files/* > /var/httpd/www/filelist.txt

see dir /? for optional parameters for dir

Alright I did a little research on your behalf Quicken and you could accomplish the same thing I was talking about in linux on Windows by using something similar to this command from NyteOwl.

You want to creatch a batch file or CMD file or whatever you want. To do that open text editor and throw this in:

@echo off
dir C:\TEST\ > C:\TEST2\test.txt

Then save the file as "whatever.bat". Then to have it run automatically you can use Windows's Task Scheduler and set it to run daily. Once you've setup the Task, you can go into properties and have it repeat every hour if you want. If you want the batch file to list files in Sub-directories then just add /s after dir.

If you need any more help Google is your friend and I also just pulled this up really quick and read it over: The Command Line in Windows: Batch file basics

Thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it!

Finally had time to sit down use this, created numerous batch files, modded them and attached links to my webpage--always fun learning something new!
