Server program needed

[Ridefort]

Good day,

Once i had a small program that allowed the user to view the contents
of an server; aka:

You type in the url of an specific webpage, than the program show an
explorer like view the contents of this page, for example:


homepage.htm
stylesheet.css

Folder Images
subfolder thumbs
Folder Pages

etc.
Similar to an HD, tt alowed the user to download or copy requested
files.

I cant recollect the name or the link of the program.
Can anybody, please give me some directions where i can download this
or an similar program??


TIA

If you are wanting a "small n simple" server, then give KFWS a try.

Any web browser will do this - IF the server is set up to allow access
to the directory. Many used to be set up that way - few are now.

It's totally a server-side decision, the user (you) can't change the
way the server is set up.

Any web browser will do this - IF the server is set up to allow
you can create a .htaccess file with

# Allow index listings
Options +Indexes

in it, which will allow file listings (OK, *some* ISPs won't let you change,
but most seem to allow that one)

I think the OP was thinking of something which actually parsed the links
and embedded content on the page you were viewing to present an
Explorer type view - spidering the site, rather than just relying on
directory browsing being allowed.

A lot of download managers have a feature like this under the name "Site
Explorer", although which one the OP may have used I don't know. The
last freeware version of Net Transport has a nice one with Explorer
style view (Site Explorer tab) and the current version of
FreeDownloadManager has a working one, but no directory tree style
display of what it retrieves.

version of Net Transport Site Explorer in action.

Hope this helps,

There are a few ways to set the server to do it, .htaccess is one of
them - but the visitor to the site doesn't get to decide. That was my
point. There's no program you can run - as a visitor - that will let
you view directories on a site if the site is set to not allow it.
