JavaScript Help - Counting Files in a Directory

[SaturnX]

Hey Everyone,

Would there be any possible way for to write up a small script that counts the number of files in a given folder?

The web server is running Linux, if that's any help, but I've been trying to figure this out.. but I'm not having any luck.

If anyone could help me out that'd be great... thanks!

javascript is a client-side script. so it is not possible to do anything on the server side.
for server side stuffs, you would want to look at php, perl, or other scripting languages

(well, actually, that was a lie .. there are some server-side javascript, but i think you have to change the server settings and what not.. but since i don't know much about server side javascript, i'd say try perl/cgi or php for that).

Hrmm.. that's what I was thinking.. since I really couldn't come up with anything... hrmm.. alrite... well then I'll go throw something together in Perl...
