Get a filename list of a web site

[aidechamp]

Hi all,
is it possible to get a filename directory list of a website (possibly
with full path indication)?
Using python & possibly wget?

Bye.

HTTP does not provide a command for this.
you need to acquire a shell account on the specific server you're
interested in. generally, this requires emailing the addresses in the
whois database, explaining why you need a shell account. generally,
they will deny your request.
then you can say `ssh YOURNAME@SERVER ls DIRECTORY`.
a few directories on a few servers are configured such that they list
themselves when queried. iirc, there's a google trick to let you find
these directories.

Thanks, faulkner,
years ago I used on Windows Teleport, which had the possibilty to
download
only the file list. I hoped that in Linux with the aid of python &
wget....
