create page of directory tree

AAnarchYY · 09-30-2007, 01:03 PM

I'm trying to create a webpage of a directory tree.
An example of what I'm trying to do is something like:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/
or
http://ftp.debian.org

Do I need some special script/program to create pages like this?

Oh, and I'm using apache, don't know if there are any plugins or
included scripts to automagicly create pages like those.

It's been a while since I did any web authoring, but I seem to remember that if you just upload files to a server without an index.htm(l) file in the directory, the client's browser just displays the directory contents as in those sites you linked to.

If you give for example an ftp address in the form a url, the display is automatically formatted as a tree.

Option +Indexes
in .htaccess in the root of the tree or in the Directory tag in httpd.conf

And for this you have to have at least mod_dir builtin (if you want to get fancy, use mod_autoindex).
