Can this be done?

I have a website which I mostly use for storing files that I want to share or I may need when away from my computer. I just upload files to certain directories - pdf's, movies, photos etc etc. At the moment to upload them I either 1) Open up IE, type ftp.domain.com and copy and paste into the specific directory, or 2) I use an FTP Client (FireFTP Firefox Extension).

What I would ideally like is just to be able to right click on the file and "Send To" my website (preferably a specific directory if possible). Does anyone know if there is a program that can do this? Kinda like the Gmail Drive shell extension?

Also, somtimes I make a page and link to each file but its a pain in the ass modifying the page all the time. Is there any way that a page can be automatically indexed when I upload a file and add it to a list of files in that Directorty? I've no doubt that its possible to get somehthing fantastic done up in php or something but unfortunately my skills don't stretch that far - unless its somehting that really really easy to set up and manage. I know I can get the server to do a directory listing with .htaccess, but, really it just looks kinda crappy! IS there any way to modify it perhaps?

So does anyone know I can do these things?

I can help you out with the auto update so that you dont have to do any HTML bits and bobs. I have done a PHP script that deal with images in sub-directories and that could easily be adapted for any typ of file. But the other stuff has issues - not entirely sure yet what issues but its not right. I think you need to stick to the FTP transfer to be safe.

if you want to see an example of the image thing i mentioned let me know.

Cheer Rygar an example would be great!

Easiest thing to get a list of files in the directory is to turn on directory listings on that directory (and sub directories).

Much easier than writing a script to do such.
