Well you'd have to use a scripting language like php or asp.


Something like this in php

<?php
$dir = "/";
$dh = opendir( $dir );
while ( gettype( $file = readdir( $dh )) != boolean )
{
if ( is_dir( "$dir/$file" ) )
{
echo "$file <br>";
}
}
closedir( $dh );
?>


Well not exactly. That displays folders in the root.

Or an easier way (depends on the server preferences) suggested here (http://developers.evrsoft.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177) .

easier but less functional.

Plus not very secure really, letting people browse a directory :P

Well, wasn't that what he wanted?

[Dynasty]

I think all he wanted was a list of all the directories and sub directories, not the files within.

Oh, whatever, let it be, my suggestion also allows him to navigate :cool:
