On my site, I have anywhere between 300-700 downloads open to my members (or WILL have after I link them all...geez).

My request is this:

A module that will actively monitor a directory that I specify (in a config file, hopefully) and would also allow me to fill in a username and password since all the files on my site are, indeed, password protected. After scanning this directory AND subdirs, it would AUTOMATICALLY create a download in the 'MyDownloads' module for each file (NOT folders, but it WOULD be cool if it could auto sort into categories/subcategories based on the folder or subfolder it was in). I don't really care if it generates a description, but the filesize should be correct.

If this is possible, could someone make it? That would make life SO much easier for me at this point in time. All I would have to do is edit each download and fill in the description and probably rename the download. Any input is welcome. Thanks!

Howdy! I am finding it more difficult to do everything than it really should be. First off, if I want to chnge the way something looks on my site, I have to edit the correct file. Thats fine. THEN, I have to upload...duh. Then (assuming it has anything to do with a module) I have to update the module...ok...I can live with that. That should be all, right? Nooooooooo...I then have to delete the entire contents (save for the index.html) of the template_c directory? What is the point of this? Is there ANY way to get rid of this rediculously annoying step? I don't CARE about template_c!! Why the heck does it even EXIST?!

If someone could please tell me (1) what the template_c dir's purpose is and (2) how to get rid of it in it's entirety I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
