#105744 - 18/07/2002 08:28 List Directory Files on Web Pages using html?
darwin enthusiast Registered: 10/01/2002 Posts: 205	I know it depends on the what web server your running but how do you list all files that is in a web folder to show up on an html page. Like some systems, if you don't have an index.html file, it will just list all the files and folders on the directory, like explorer. This other web server I have doesn't support it and says you are unauthorized to view this page, so I'd just like to write a simple html page that will list the directory contents if possible. Basically, I have a about 300 photos I want to share with some people, but don't want to make a link for every picture. Thanks.

Since MSWindows comes with basically no useful tools, I don't know of a good way for you to do it. You'll have to copy and paste filenames and then edit it up by hand. At least they don't even provide you with a useful text editor, either. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

Have you tried Gallery? It's quite a good program... _________________________ Matt

pgrzelak carpal tunnel Registered: 15/08/2000 Posts: 4859 Loc: New Jersey, USA	Greetings! Now, now... be nice... The language was shell - I am not certain which variation off hand. It sounds like you are running either a microsoft personal web server under 95/98/ME or IIS under NT/W2K/XP. If you are running IIS, there is an option in your home directory configuration that will enable directory browsing. See if that is checked. Please post specifics about your OS and HTTP server.
