I found a 'quick way' to do this without any additional software. See
sample at http://chocolate-moose.p5.org.uk/MINIS/barbara.html

Login into FTP and type this command: ls *.* c:\windows\desktop
\list.txt . Edit c:\windows\desktop\list.txt and add
"filename" (without quotes) at the very top of the file.

Create a Microsoft Word Merge document with the following text:

<IMG height="50" src=" http://chocolate-moose.p5.org.uk/MINIS/«filename»"
width="500" border=0> <A href=" http://chocolate-moose.p5.org.uk/MINIS/«filename»">
«filename»</A>¶
<BR><BR>¶

Merge the word document with the text document into a new text (TXT)
file with an HTML extension.

The results will be like: http://chocolate-moose.p5.org.uk/MINIS/barbara.html

My vision's bad so I've used a 50x50 thumbnail. You can use a smaller
one if you wish.
