I am looking for some advise on the management of many files on a website. I currently use MSFrontpage, but have a security application and a navigation structure using ASP. I need to index these files, assign them to catagories, and have them display on a webpage based on catagory/security settings.

For example, ten files on the site. Five are LEVEL I - SOFTWARE. Two are LEVEL II SOFTWARE. Three are LEVEL III SOFTWARE. Each would display on a seperate page. However, I also need multi-level catagories, which would display maybe the same file link on several different pages, if it was included in other catagories.

Frontpage has a similar feature to this, but once uploaded/downloaded to catagories are lost. With a few hundred files, it becomes a headache to reorganize these.

Is there an indexing program which can be uploaded, which allows for this type of file management?

Any ideas...

Generally, when you have too many files on your website, most people would implement their website using a content management system. A CMS would reduce your headache of organizing your files at multiple hierarchy levels.

Alternatively, if you are considering a site map to index your files, you can use a XML file to create the hierarchy instead of creating physical directories to create hierarchies. If a proper hierarchy already exist in your website starting from the home page, you could use a free utility like sitemapbuilder.net to map out your site as a XML file, which you can use the file to do anything else you want... e.g. building a breadcrumb trail on your webpages.
