If you have access to the server then it is fairly easy - just enable directory listings 
To expand on that - if it's Apache and you do have access to the server config - just put this line in the directory configuration of the Apache config:
Or you could also add that very same line to a .htaccess file (in the directory you want listings of) if you don't have access to the server but are still allowed htaccess.

Alternatively, if you can't do htaccess but have PHP, then the following would work as a simple, minimal index.php:
| Code: | <html>
<head>
<title> PHP index lister </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Directory listing </h1>
<?
# Change the . below to another directory name
# if you want to list the contents of a different directory
$handle = opendir('.');
if ($handle) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
# The if clause below is only necessary
# if you don't want to list this file and hidden files
# (Leaving it is a good idea)
if (($file[0] != ".") and ($file != "index.php"))
{
print "<a href=\"$file\">$file</a><br />\n";
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
?>
</body>
</html>

I've used it (well, a slightly modified version) myself, and it works for me. |
