Guest mdnightman@gmail.com Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I need to download a lot of files from a web directory that looks like this: http://www.somewebpage.com/public/folder/ . If I type this into the address bar of a web browser, I got a blank page. However, if I know the name of a specific file and type it in: http://www.somewebpage.com/public/folder/image1.jpg or http://www.somewebpage.com/public/folder/video1.flv ...., then I could see the picture/video and download them without any issue. The problem is that I don't know exactly what files are in that folder and their names. There is also no index.html file. Is there a way or any software that can help with the situation? Thank you for any suggestion!
