Web designers? Question.

Currently designing a website for my cousins company.  I'm working on an "about us" page right now.

I have the files uploaded to the directory of the hosting site but the only way to see the page is if I go to:

www.website.com/about/about.html

and I would like it to show up by going to:

www.website.com/about

is there an easy way to do this?  Is it something with a php file or something?

Thanks.

You have to add a few lines to your .htaccess and a couple other things. PM me and I'll answer any of your questions.

on many webservers, something.com/about will display something.com/about/index.htm

if that doesnt work and you are using Apache, you can use mod rewrite, but its kinda complicated

It's in godaddy, any experience?  Dunno if there is an easy way to do that or not.  I have redirects set up right now but it isn't the most elegant solution.
