CentOS - Sep 2006 - OT: How to make files placed into FTP directory available via http

I'm hoping someone out there can tell me or direct me on where to find 
this info on how to make files placed into an ftp directory available 
via an url link in an email.  I will have a staff member upload the 
files to a directory on my ftp server (which is also the web server) and 
the files would have to be automatically linked to a web directory, 
unless the files can be read directly from the ftp server.  This needs 
to have no interaction from me and should be automagic.....

Any and all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ed

No need to link anything - just make the home directory for the
user doing the ftp operation the same place that httpd expects
to find the files and permissioned accordingly.  The user can
view the web server's directory link after the upload and mail
that page or cut/paste the URL into the email.

read up on virtual hosts.

If you have selinux enabled (you should), then you may need to do 
something like this:
chcon --reference /var/www/ -R /var/local/mirrors/
