Hello all,

Just need an advice on something, I am about to build a web page to be used solely for viewing pdfs.

Here is our current scenario, we have 2 server's, say call it server A and server B. Server B is the server where all pdf's will be generated and server A will be used to view them. Due to our current ISO procedures, server A isn't allowed to be directly connected to server B, but we can have a web server that will allows users from server A to download these pdfs. The problem with this is server A is poorly networked so whenever somebody tries to download and open say a pdf, the whole network running on server A gets affected. Rather than improve the network, they decided to change the whole process, so instead of downloading pdfs and opening them on server A. The web server will be utilised to store and open these files to lessen the load of serverA.

My task is to program a web page that will allow server A users to view pdfs from server B. I'm asking what is the best way of doing this?

At the moment, the manager want me to code it so that say in server B we will have a folder called Proofs and within it we can have subfolders where the pdfs will be placed. The web server will then show a directory listing of the Proofs folder and then allow users to view straight from it.

I need to figure out, how I'm going to do the directory listing and what is the best way of allowing the users to view the pdf..would pdfsharp be sufficient? or are there better methods?

Thanks for your time on this matter and if any of it don't make any sense I'll try my best to expand on it.
