    Setting up to View Folder Contents in Browser

    Dennis Hughes Community Member
      I have placed 40 jpg images in a folder on my web site. How can I let visitors view the file names (folder contents) & select an image by name.

      I hate to have to make a page & enter all 40 image file names with links to the files. Is there a better way to do this?

      Thanks,

      Dennis

          Have you looked at using the Create Web Photo Album command on the Commands menu? There are also upgraded Web Photo Album extensions you can download from the Exchange that are really nice and fast in generating thumbnails or file name links...You do need Fireworks to generate the albums, though.

            You could enable directory browsing in the directory, but then you'll
            need to accept the rather ugly server default index page. If it were me,
            I'd write a short script that read the directory and displayed a more
            attractive listing. How you would go about that would depend on what
            server scripting language(s) you have available on the server.
