You can use 'links' to do this. Please take a look at section 2.13 of the
manual for detailed information on how to do this (or
http://www.cat-soft.com/ManHow.htm#Links for the on-line version of the
manual).

Those CD's need to be mapped to different drive letters though..

The problem with that is the FTP protocol. The FTP specs in RFC959 do not
prescribe any particular format for dir listings, but just about all FTP
client programs only accept a certain layout, and the most common one for
this is the UNIX dir listing format. So, that's why Serv-U sends dir
listings over in that way. Changing it would break many FTP clients.
Some client software (CuteFTP for one) will look for a file named
00-INDEX.TXT and use that to augment the dir listing info with a
description. So, that might be one way to go.
