Hi,
Is it possible to see a list of all documents and files used by a website? If so, how?
I don't have ftp access to it, so thats out....
Thanks

You would pretty much have to download the whole site with a 'crawler' like http://www.httrack.com/ to get that info.
Why don't you ask the website owner? ;)

No, you can't see all the files on a website.
You can only see the ones you have access to.

Thx for the tip. I tried using the crawler, but it has only downloaded the files that are visible.....
There must be someway to get access to those files that exist on the web server, but are not currently visibile online. Other than randomly typing in the file name in the url?
The webowner could help, but thats not an available option for now....

Nope, there isn't a way. Unless you're a "leet hax0r".
That's the whole point of dis/allowing access to certain files. Do you have any idea how much of a security hole that would be.
