Display file index for folders without default HTML file

D

Danin

I have a folder on my web server (which runs FrontPage Extensions) that
contains a large number of image files, but no HTML (no index.htm, etc.). Is
there a way to set up FrontPage so that I can type in the address of that
folder and have it display a list of all the files contained in that folder?

(For an example of what I am trying to acheive, see

There isn't anything in FrontPage to do this. What happens if you try
to view the directory and there isn't a default document? Do get a
Directory Listing Denied, error? If so, you may be able to ask your
host to change a setting in that directory to allow Directory Browsing.

Alternatively, if you can use ASP or PHP, it's fairly simple to write a
page that can, in effect, give you directory listing. I think I have
some php code around here somewhere I could give to you (a copy/paste
type of thing - no coding) if you can use it.

The "Key Word" is "Directory Browsing"

Is it turned on? (On your site) If so you can just
enter the directory and view the files... (But then so can anyone else)
http://www.your_domain_name.com/images/ to view all your images.

If it is not turned on you will need to contact your provider (or use the
interface consol )and see if they offer this.
