You can generate links to a bunch of files using "find": cd /path/to/parent_directory find directory_name -type f \( -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.jpeg' -o -name '*.gif' \) | while read filename ; do echo "<a href=\"$filename\">$filename</a>"; done
The "-o" means OR, so you can add more file extensions in the find command. You can put this output into your HTML if you just want to generate a bunch of links. Or you can use the find command this way to bulk post pictures to some online gallery (e.g. a Drupal or Wordpress site) using curl or wget instead of echo.
