How to change File Description

When I am browsing the web and I end up in a directory with no HTML index file (ie index.html), I see something like this:

Code:

Index of /k

 Name               Last modified       Size   Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 115-1564_CRW.jpg   16-Feb-2001 12:01   58k

And sometimes there is something to the right of the file (ie, its description) under the "Description" column and sometimes there isn't.

I also see the description column in my ftp software.

I would like to know how to add or alter that description (I have files people download from a directory on my website, and the description would be helpful to them). I use CuteFTP as my FTP client. I am comfortable with telnet as well.

I can't find any documentation anywhere that says how to do this.

Please help me!

Thanks,
Zachariah
