Directory listing script

1 New Member
I am looking for a Perl script that will do a cleaner job of listing the contents of a directory than what Apache does on its own. I would like the script to create a list of links to enable files in a given directory to be downloaded. The PHP utility that I had been using for that purpose had a security hole that was exploited by hackers.

Unfortunately for you, this is not a scripting service. Instead, it is a help forum. The people here are all volunteers and are not here to supply people with scripts. Instead, we are here to help you learn. So, if you want try to code a solution to your issue and if you get stuck, post it here and we will help you troubleshoot it or get it working.

As for Apache, you CAN actually turn on a "prettier" directory listing and code it so that every other line is a different color (ie: a zebra type listing). If you want to know how, then post a question in the Apache forum.

Regards,

Jeff

I'd like to make a directory listing where instead of the entire filename I need it to show the filename minus the extention and get the value of charname= in the file itself. I've been told that I had to turn the directory listing into an array and then use "foreach (array as item)" to go through and open each file but I've tried several different approaches and I just can't get it to work. I've been able to make it list the directory...

Hello, I am writing a script that opens needs to get a listing of files in a directory, print that listing to a file and use that file as a quasi ftp control file.

I have a command script that backs up a user account. This involves moving files from different directories into an archive. Now, I need that script to back up all user accounts on the system, by going through the directory structure and running the backup script on each one. Can someone show me how this can be done? I'm not a perl programmer and have only dabbled a bit in it. My directory structure is like this:

Hi - I'm hoping for help with the auto-generation of a hyperlinked listing of all files in a directory. The server I use does not auto-generate this. So, when someone comes to this directory and thus opens index.htm, I want that file to show a listing of all files in the directory with hyperlinks to them. Thanks for the help, Doug

I have a *very* simple script written that displays the directory listing of the current working directory, but I am having some difficulty when I try to change folders. Basically, I have my $dir variable set to this: --- $dir = getcwd() . "\\" . $nav; --- but for some reason the script does not actually display the contents of the directory if you change from the directory the script is located in. Here is my code if someone is willing...

I'm trying to remove a directory and all its contents from within a script. I wrote a recursive function to take care of it, but when I run it I get random "Directory not empty" error messages. I dropped some code in to echo out the name of the file that's about to be rmdir()ed or unoink()ed (depending if it's a file or a directory) to see if it was choking on a particular subdirectory, but doing that causes all the error messages to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
