Hello,

My ISP has disabled a standard feature which would display a directory
listing with links to the files therein when the browser is directed
to the URL of the directory without a file name being specified..

Does anyone know of a utility that can be installed to produce this
type listing. or perhaps a work around.?

Thanks

I know there is a htaccess option to enable/disable that
but I don't remember what it is and don't have the time
now. Maybe you can search in the Apache doc.

If you're using Apache and have the right permissions then create a text
file called ".htaccess" (note the leading dot) and include this single
line:

Options +Indexes

IndexOptions DescriptionWidth=* NameWidth=*

Well then you're going to have to make your own directory listings.

If you have CGI/PHP access, it should be easy to knock up a script to do
this, but if you have no .htaccess, then you probably don't have CGI or
PHP either.
