How to create a document library

Summary

Giving end users access to the content manager

Content

I need to create a document library without manually building a page with links to content that resides on the FTP. I would like to use the content manager to organize and all our end users to view documents. The content manager seems to be only accessible to those with Control panel access so I'm looking for ideas on how to make this happen.

I only have one idea how to make this work but it seems like a lot of extra steps:

• Convert Content Manger documents to a course. Add courses to categories. Use the categories widget to display documents on a page.
