QUESTION: How to get a remote directory file listing from a web site

Mon Oct 4 18:06:04 EDT 2004

Hello, I need some help.

When I run this from the message box

put 
("crosbystillsnash.com/content/TOURS/CSN2K4/_galleries/20040913_Pechanga/large/") 
into thePath
put "user:password" into userpass
put "ftp://" & userpass & "@" & thePath into temp
put  URL  temp
put the result into tr
if tr is not empty
then
    put "RESULT" && tr
end if

--- I get this error -

RESULT error  550 
/content/TOURS/CSN2K4/_galleries/20040913_Pechanga/large: No such 
file or directory

the URL is good; copied and pasted from a browser (this is my own site)

Am I specifying the URL incorrectly? Is there a better way ? I just 
need a simple listing.

When I use it with URL http, I get html of course. Is the only way to 
get an HTTP directory is by parsing the below?

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<HTML>
  <HEAD>
   <TITLE>Index of 
/content/TOURS/CSN2K4/_galleries/20040913_Pechanga/large</TITLE>
