Thanks, Martin. I knew about the Sites folder, but my problem is that
I can't get it to auto-generate file listings. I didn't know about
that drag-and-drop trick, though, so maybe I'll try that. But still
not as convenient for my purposes as the auto-listing function, because
I'd still have to generate a new index file every time I added files to
the directory.

Thanks for that tip too. I'll check out Webmin.
