Those aren't terminal commands though, how would I even run them without a website/server of my own?

Nothing sinister. Just trying to get some homework sets from a class site related to something I'm taking now. Solutions would be nice to have.

Though I suppose I can't speak for future endeavors. tongue.gif

tbh I still think that's what he he trying to do.



@ OP

Are you hosting the files and you want other people to see a list of them, or are trying to obtain a list of files that someone else is hosting?

If you are hosting the files, then you're running a web server, so do the PHP thing suggested or turn on directory indexing.

If you are not hosting the files, then you cannot get a list of files without attacking the server. If you're not hosting the files then the people who have, have explicitly disallowed directory lists so you'll need them to either provide you with a directory list, or an FTP site.

You posted this in the web coding forum, I assumed you had coding experience or were learning.

What I suggested was an approach in PHP to collect all the public links of an entire website. The downside is that only files that are listed somewhere on the web page will show up in that list. But it's the best you can do, unless you can run your own files on the webserver.

I think this is the answer I was looking for. If the simple directory listing isn't available, it doesn't sound like there is a straightforward way to request what's available in that directory.

I promise I'm not! The question was worded to be in a very general sense. I had found a university staff member's page for a class similar to one I'm taking (different university that I'm not associated with), and the homeworks were done well. So there was a .../classname/hw1.pdf or something along those lines, and I was hoping to see if there were more items listed under that /classname/ directory for problems and solutions. That's all tongue.gif

Heh, the picture was made in jest. I understood what you said, I just haven't worked in php before (probably will be soon), so actually performing those instructions would prove to be difficult.


That being said, I'll just resolve the thread. Thanks, all!
