Hello all, I hope this makes sense. I have an old program that normally saves progress reports to a folder. The files are all HTML files, but the program gives them all cryptic names (all 6 characters long, using a-Z). Normally this is not a problem as you can just open up the folder and see all the files. However, i have set up a system where the files are uploaded to the free web space provided by my ISP. This is where the issue starts. When trying to view the reports on-line, there is no way of knowing what the file names will be. I can't view all the files on the website since my ISP turned off directory listing. I've been trying to come up with a way to quickly scan all possible URLs and report back which ones are there. Basically, I'm looking for a program that will try to access http://myserver.com/??????.html where the "??????.html" is every possible file name and then tell me which ones are there (ie, don't return a 404 error). In my web searches I have found nothing that seems to be able to do this. Any help?

If the ISP allows PHP (or other server-side scripting languages), you could use it to list the files.
For example, http://codewalkers.com/seecode/451....
