Question 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

UPSSET.CONF(5)						      Network UPS Tools (NUT)						    UPSSET.CONF(5)

NAME
upsset.conf - Configuration for Network UPS Tools upsset.cgi DESCRIPTION
This file only does one job - it lets you convince upsset.cgi(8) that your system's CGI directory is secure. The program will not run until this file has been properly defined. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
upsset.cgi(8) allows you to try login name and password combinations. There is no rate limiting, as the program shuts down between every request. Such is the nature of CGI programs. Normally, attackers would not be able to access your upsd(8) server directly as it would be protected by the ACCESS/ACL directives in your upsd.conf(5) file and hopefully local firewall settings in your OS. Since upsset runs on your web server, it could provide a passage from the outside to the inside, bypassing any firewall rules or upsd access control limitations, since it appears to be coming from the web server. This is why you must secure it first. On Apache, you can use the .htaccess file or put the directives in your httpd.conf. It looks something like this, assuming the .htaccess method: <Files upsset.cgi> deny from all allow from your.network.addresses </Files> You will probably have to set "AllowOverride Limit" for this directory in your server-level configuration file as well. If this doesn't make sense, then stop reading and leave this program alone. It's not something you absolutely need to have anyway. Assuming you have all this done, and it actually works (test it!), then you may add the following directive to this file: I_HAVE_SECURED_MY_CGI_DIRECTORY If you lie to the program and someone beats on your upsd through your web server, don't blame me.
