Open Web Directory

[marcusadeleon]

Hi,

I was wondering how to open up a web directory to get a file listing.

The directory I want to open allows directory listings, but has a
directory password. Meaning it gives me a prompt to put in a username
and password when I go to the web address in internet explorer. Once I
put in the correct username and password, it shows the directory
listing.

Thanks,

Hello, ma***********@g mail.com!

That listing is server-generated HTML file that looks like directory
listing.

So, you have following options:
1. parse HTML returned by the server and detect file/dir links
2. get ftp access to that folder.

For the 1-st way HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse will be needed.
For the 2-nd - FtpWebRequest/FtpWebResponse

You can use webclient object. for example:

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.Credentials = new NetworkCredenti al("username", "password",
"domain");
wc.DownloadData ("address");

and then parse the returned html. But, it will be better to define FTP
and use it.
