Alright, i ask this question because I run a personal server on my computer and i run a small-time site off of it. On this site i have a variety of things, but on the SERVER i have far more, and occasionally it comes to use when somone needs something and its on the server but not the site. What would truly be convinient is to have some sort of program generate a list of whats on the server; that way, i can hand it out, and everyone can see, exactly, what they need and pick it out. Another alternative is to kno how to access my site via directory instead of index, which is essentially the same thing.

to get a more visual interpertation of what i mean, this is kinda what i want:

[htdocs]
[stuff]
[downloads]
PROGRAM.exe
YOUGETTHEPICTURE.gif
HOPEFULLY.png


help, please?
 
You should be able to get a directory listing of the
server and then take a snapshot of it and upload
resultant jpg that people can look at. U do need a
somewhat powerful graphics app tho- I use Ulead PI. If
that's ok, post back & I'll give u details.

I print the entire folder structure of MyDocs this way.

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
 
Hi,

Start/run cmd

Run: dir <server> >list.txt (EG: dir X:\>list.txt)

Will create a text file list of the files and folders on the root of the
server drive. Add the /s switch to have it list of all files and
subdirectories (if large, this may take awhile).
