WordPress: How to Add a Pre-Written Flip Brochure to a WordPress Site?

We have a wordpress site for a client.

They had a graphic artist do a "flip brochure"

They sent a zip file. It has a folder full of JS, flash, HTML, images and other goodies.

What is the best way to get this "into" the WP site (FTP to a folder, etc.) so that I can link to it from web pages on the WP site?

I've tried creating a folder, but got 404 errors

I tried creating a folder under wp-content called /wp-content/brochure but when I tried to go to /wp-content/brochure/index.html (the correct file name) I get a 404 error.

What do I need to do?

Please spoon feed... :)

Thanks

To avoid Wordpress processing you need to put it in a root folder:
Http://sitename.com/brochure

I have done that, but it doesn't work. Wordpress intercepts it and returns a 404

linux server? whats in .htaccess?
should be something like:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

the -f means if its not a real file, and the -d means if it's not a real directory. If you don't have this stuff, feel free to copy it, should work without modification

This is what I have on a Linux server:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Unless you need it for something else. It basically means you can't get to any content but index.php
