File URL's

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I'm uploading a large number of text files that i want to reference. Building the case statements, i find that each file is located differently with numbered folders.

Is there a way I can use the folder structure I have uploaded to and add it to a URL?

Right now I have something like:
https://www.example.org/application/files/4415/6494/9191/EAMA_L_C_P....

What I am hoping for is:
https://www.example.org/application/files/English/A/EAMA_L_C_P.txt...

You can do that programmatically. I think the simplest way is to create a single page with a file list. This way you'll have a direct URL to the page and to each file in the file list.

I don't know if this can be done without coding your own file list page.

I'm afraid I was wrong. Even on a single page the files will have folder names as numbers. I guess to have direct folder URL links to files you have to store the files in the server folders, not in the file manager.

I can't see a better solution than this, sadly. In replacing a file, I found it changed path, which messes up everything. A direct file method will have to be used. Shame.
