Hi Jamie,
Sorry for my late reply but I just realized there's a messageboard for js beginners here.
Well, you cannot achieve what you want with client-side javascript, as it does not allow you to manipulate files on the server (as it runs on the client's machine)
All you can do with client-side javascript is to list your own directory files and upload them to the server.
Try ASP instead.
Here's a link relating to your question:

: Hello!
:
: I am currently in the process of building a web site for the class that I teach. Throughout the course, I will be posting numerous documents for my students to download, and I am looking for a javascript or related script that will automatically keep a listing of the files in a certain directory on the site.
:
: Basically, when a student visits the page, I want the script to automatically obtain a listing of the files in the specified directory so that they can click on a certain file and download it. With the vast number of documents that I will be adding, it would be very time consuming to have to go in and create a hyperlink to each document that I upload.

: Thanks in advance for your help!
