I don't do a lot with the web page.  I usually get the server set up and 
that is about it.  We are running Apache 2 and I have a question.  I am 
thinking about putting the homework hotline on the webpage.  I am going 
to have it where the teacher drops their file into a directory and then 
the files get sent to the webpage.  I could just make links on the page 
for each teacher and have that link point to the file that gets copied 
over to the webpage.

i.e.      teacher1 -> /webdir/teacher1.pdf
     teacher2 -> /webdir/teacher2.pdf
     ..
     teacher100 -> /webdir/teacher100.pdf

but I was wondering if I could make a link to a directory and when 
someone goes to the directory, then they will see all the teachers 
listed and can just select the teacher that they want.

i.e.
The student browses to http://site.com/homework_hotline

Any pdf that is dropped into the directory homework_hotline will show up 
and they can click on the one that they want.

This way I can create a directory and not have to create 100 or so links.

Thanks and i hope that makes sense.
