dIRECTORY LISTING FOR A WEBSITE

[jskam]

Does anyone know of a utility or a software, which gets for you the directory listing for a particular website!

lets say, for example, if i type www.yahoo.com
the it will give me the directory listed out, and then the sub-directories..

Actually i tried it out many months ago, when i came across this software on download.com via google, but at that time, since i didnt need it, so i didnt save it or remeer the name!
but now when i need it, i cannot recoollect any info on that!


So does anybody know of any softwares which get the directory listing for a particular website???

it's not possible. Web servers can be configured not to allow directory listings. if you want to try any download manager, they will give you an approximation though

 

[jskam]

how do download managers can do this?
do u know any particular download manager which you have tried?

 

[Kratt]

I don't know how, but they won't give you the complete picture, just anything ref'd in the scripts I guess. I use flashget's explorer.

wget can somewhat do this by following links and building a copy of the site.

wget can somewhat do this by following links and building a copy of the site.

Or better yet, use curl.

i was just confused

Getright has a handy feature called Getright Browser. You enter http urls and it gives you directory listings.

hey getright, is really handy...
the browser actually displays all the links and stuff..thats cool...

thanks for that!

also wget is good from command prompt too...its a bit fast ...but i prefer getright, because u can see the links, how are they connected and stuff....


btw thanks guys for the replies....
