Posting a directory to the web

Hello,
I need some assistance with posting a directory. Actually, my directory link works with the html code I've written. The problem I encounter is that the name of some of the files are concantenated due to excessive length (they're self documenting excel sheets etc). Is there a simple way around this? I tried making an html file for the directory, but it didn't update automatically when I added new files(which I kindof suspected, but I'm getting rather desparate). Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks!

Unforunately, the link would be pointless...you would't be able to get past the firewall...

The code is fairly basic...this is what I used to generate the link. Please pardon the xxx's but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post internal sites to general fourms like these...don't want to get in trouble with corporate:

<A href="http://www.xxx.com/~xxxxx/ada4891/ds_plots">Datasheet plots</A>

The link works, and people are nicely guided to the directory named ds_plots (The directory resides on a unix server). Unfortunately, due to the length of some of the file names the title gets concatenated and I'm trying to find a quick and easy way to display the whole title/string.
My recent thoughts is that this isn't an "html" issue but maybe a default setting that I might be able to set in my .cshrc???

Your right, it is not html. More than likely server side or databse.
