Internet-related question

[Muzer]

Is there any way to force-view the index of a site, even if it has an index.html? You know, that list of files that appears if you go to a site without an index.html in the folder? Like this (http://www.planet-eggplant.com/xinos/worm_gifs/), but if the site has an index.html

My guess would be "no". As that's often blocked by the server to try to stop people viewing the contents of a folder.

Someone might be able to give a more technical answer though.

Unless explicitally set, you're not allowed to view the contents of a webfolder "from outside". Those "list of files" are generated by whatever webserver is used (in that case, Apache) for folders without an index, since that's usually what they're meant for, otherwise you'd get a 403 trying to access the folder.

which is exactly how it was designed, and quite on purpose for that matter

AFAIK, you can only view that if you have the ftp address and password.

That would only be if there actually is an ftp server.
