Only if you have the right access to the server. If not, you can only deduce parts from what is presented on the web, but you’ll never know if it reflects actual directory structured or that it is “faked”.

If the website hasn’t disabled directory listings/browsing, you can see all folders and files!

A beginner practices until he gets it right, a professional practices until he can’t get it wrong!

As @dloser said, you don’t know what you’re getting. It may be faked.

It only works if there is also not an index file in the directory. If that’s the case, you can just go to it in your browser and see it.

@dloser: So you’re saying there’s no way directory listing works when there’s an index file in the directory?

Google “index of /” for examples.

I said what I said, but I didn’t mean that.

I’m almost certain you have to explain that. Why do you say things you don’t mean? You’re confusing users.

I have found something interresting on google about “index of /”, the first idea is that, i need to learn some ways in javascript. But is not and http request as i thinked, so is javascript the only solution?

My problem is that i want to explore the tree of a server created in my computer using wampserver, and perhaph i will apply it on a website. with wampserver you can see the list of files in the directory of your website, but i don’t know how they did it, is there a way to do the same on the web?

[quote=http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_dir.html]Summary

The index of a directory can come from one of two sources:
[list]
[]A file written by the user, typically called index.html. The DirectoryIndex directive sets the name of this file. This is controlled by mod_dir.
[]Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. This is provided by mod_autoindex.
[/list][/quote]

I post this problem because i have encountered many dificulties to find the corrects ways and files to pass somes levels in the challenge “Main”. so i thinked that some peoples who passed it quickly as displayed in the stat bar, used a tree of Hackthis to find their files
