Actually, the URL that appears in your
browser’s Address field when viewing one of
those pages often fails as a link to the
page, and this has frustrated me over
the past few years.

OTOH, the link that appears in the message
announcing the uploading of the file does
work.

So, after uploading a file, one can follow up
with a post to indicate the significance of
the uploaded material. Then we can refer back
to upload-announcement message to actually
link to the item. It is too bad that the
person who did the uploading cannot add text
to the announcement message.

A link to an upload folder, which you can get
from the browser’s URL when on the page, does
work. E.g.:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/4D_Cubing/files/Nan%20Ma/MC2D/
