The easiest way I can think of is to download your products in a .csv file, edit the file in Excel heepng the fields you want available to the customer, upload the resulting file, and creating a link to the .csv file.

Hey,

How do I test it to make sure that it will work?

Because I tried it and I get (You don't have permission to access /store on this server.)
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Thanks
Tom

I would create a folder called "feeds" and upload the file there. Give the folder the same permissions as the images folder, 775. You won't be able to "browse" to the file, but a link of www.yourdomain.com/feeds/yourfilename.csv should allow anyone to view/download the file.
