Ask and ye shall receive. I have just created an FTP link for Fote's 
lynx2-6fm files on www.slcc.edu. Basically, I moved the real files to an
anonymous ftp location, and made symbolic links to them in the HTTP
location. What that means is that if you go to 

  http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/

and see a file you want to download, you can use either the URL

  http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/_filename_

or

  ftp://www.slcc.edu/pub/lynx/fote/_filename_

where _filename_ is replaced by the desired file name. I need to make a
real page to describe this now, but it works. Note: I did something not
quite right in setting up the anonymous ftp and you can ftp to the site
and see any files (the ls command is failing) but they are there. Use the
full ftp path and all should work fine. (Anyone want to help me fix the
ls problem?)

PS Fote, all should work the same for you to place files in the HTTP 
location so let me know if it gives you any trouble.
