Getting Web server file structure

[kazar]

Anyone know of a way of indexing a server remotely, from vb, without doing it by link?

Thanks

By web server, do you mean Apache/IIS/<some server program>? Computer on your LAN? Some IP address on the internet?

What permissions do you have on that computer?

i believe he mean's server program built in vb to send back file structure to client program, Used for remote desktoping and also good for when you need a file from home when your at work.

Actually what i mean (i can already do what sean suggests), is whether it is possible to index a remote web server, i.e. www.google.com, from a client.

oh ok sorry bout that lol.

Sure - parse the first page, looking for links, load each link, rinse and repeat.

It's like finding all files in all subdirectories.

Yeah, i know, i was wondering if you can do it without that process. I can already do that. Anyway, it doesn't show files that aren't linked to.

In order to do it any other way you'd have to have directory listing permissions, so it's only practical on your own server, and only for someone who has administrative rights to the server.

To be able to transfer files between 2 computers? It depends on the details of how the 2 are connected to the internet, but you might want to look at UltraVNC.
