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.

As a dialup user, I can appreciate a fast page like that.

I don't even get that; source view has not a single character.

Ah, well now I'm thinking it's a function of the browser. The "source"
above was in FF, Opera gives me nothing, and in IE6 I get all of this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

I guess each browser assumes certain defaults...

You guys!!! It's not a blank page. My "service" provider wasn't
allowing uploads. It's there now.

Why should I pay when *FREE* works so well :GRIN:

The blank page was more interesting.

Because you'll come back here in a few months bitching about how bad
your "free" stuff is.

Not saying free is bad. But how many people are going to create a MS
Mail Merge document because your site demands it?

You can select from a range of -1 and 1, not inclusive.

Actually, Jerry, I've been using portland.co.uk for about 4-5
years ... so I doubt that I'll be back in a few months bitching
(unless I find something else to complain about ... which is entirely
possible).

Nobody else is going to SEE the document that I create and no one else
will need to create a similar document. This is only for MOI. So, I
can see a list of my files with a thumbnail image next to them. I
don't like the format of the server-generated index.html and I don't
want everyone in the universe hotlinking to my files so I use a
different file name for the index (NOT the barbara.html).

All I wanted was a simple way to see the thumbnail image next to the
file name without spending hordes of cash to do it. TAH! DAH!

You, oh cynical one, have little faith in The Moose. :GRIN:

No, not at all. I've just seen too many "good" hosting companies go don
the tubes after a period of time. Just ask any of the regulars here
about Affordable Host, Page-Zone or TheMooseIsLoose.

None of these were free, but they were all inexpensive hosting companies
people were happy with for years...

And it seems the less people have to pay, the more they demand :-)
