i have ftp server and apache shares, users can donwload files from ftp and apache via browsers like

when users type above url, all the files / folders listed nomally in a white webpate.

i just want to modiry it like changing color of the page, list of items in a table or anything else which make very professonal and color ful good looking.

i googled a little and came to know we can keep a index.php page in the ftp directory so that it will be customized, but not much knowledge.

Please help me

thank you very much in advance.

Can you post some of the links you came up with?? Because there are LOTS of ways to do what you'd like, depending on your needs. Writing a simple PHP page to loop through a list of files in a directory and color-code them isn't too hard.

We'll be glad to help you with it...so post what you've written/done so far, or what you're having trouble with, and we can help.

Hi ,

http://pdirl.newroots.de/

this is the link worked for me,old ones waste of time, one more link is

http://www.evoluted.net/thinktank/we...listing-script

this has feature of showing priview of image files on mouse hover but when i tried it, it showing liks normal letters only. i do have php.on my server which is why above link worked.but why second link does't work.

Now problem is first link working for http share, but not ftp. is there any modifications to work the first link in for ftp share.

also found http://sourceforge.net/projects/dir-list/

but none of them work for ftp

thank you very much.

Yes, you can, even without resorting to server-side scripting! Have a look at apache wiki and HeaderName, ReadmeName, IndexOptions, IndexStylesheet config options for apache.

Hi,

no issue with http dir listing, i want to do it for ftp server. Please help me how to do it for ftp server directory listing. Directory listing is working for apache after following first link. i want for ftp.

thank you very much.

Yes, I'm sure there ARE modifications that YOU can do to make it work the way you want it to. So, go ahead and make the changes, and post back (probably in the programming forums), if you get stuck, and be sure to post your code.
Really?? From the dir-list webpage that you linked to:
...which says that dir-list DOES support FTP. Did you configure it correctly to do so?

EDIT: After spending five minutes on it, the dir-list program works very well with FTP...providing you read the documentation and configure it to USE FTP.

Sorry, that's not going to work. When someone types a ftp:// url for a directory into a browser, the browser goes and does a directory listing using ftp protocol, gets the list of files from the server (using ftp protocol) and displays it to the user.

The display page remotely resembles something that apache mod_autoindex module creates. But apache mod_autoindex works very differently.

When someone types a http:// url for a directory into a browser, the browser sends a HTTP GET request for that url to the server. The server handles this request to mod_autoindex module and this module formats a html document that is sent to the browser and it is rendered for the user.

So, with HTTP you can change the appearance of the user interface on the server side, because it is generated on the server side. But for FTP you cannot change it on the server side because it is generated on the browser side.

HTH,
