got a geeky question

[kumanchu]

like... i remember seeing google links to search site index's to find certain types of files under the /index of

is it possible to get to the /index of sites another way?

I vaguely remember being able to do that using GetRight or FlashGet, but I'm not 100% sure...

I always thought that a index file (index.html, index.php) placed inside a directory prevented directory listing, at least with Apache. If the webmaster neglected to add one in, you could view all the files in that directory just by doing the "/". Like if there was a URL like "http://www.example.com/files/blah.jpg", you could try "http://www.example.com/files/" to view the files if there is no index file.

EDIT: Here's an example of what can happen if the directory had the index.html or index.php file:

You won't be able to get a listing of the files.

well assuming that there is a webpage set as an index, then is it still possible to obtain a file listing in the local directory?

Without some h4x0ring, I think not.

 

[kumanchu]
