Full Installation Tutorial

This installation tutorial will provide a detailed explanation of how to install Directory Lister to your web server.


Software you will need

Before getting started, you will need to download and install an FTP client. Here are a few free ones I know of:

This tutorial will assume you are using WinSCP with the Explorer interface, but the same general ideas work with all FTP clients.


Step 1 - Download latest version

Click the "Download Directory Lister" button at the top right of this page to download the latest version of Directory Lister.


Step 2 - Extract files

Right click on directory-lister-latest.zip and select "Extract All..."

On the Extraction Wizard welcome screen hit Next

If you wish to extract to a different location, browse for that location, then hit Next. Otherwise, just hit Next.

Make sure the "Show extracted files" is checked and hit Finish.

You should now see a folder containing the Directory Lister files.


Step 3 - Upload Directory Lister files

Open WinSCP and connect to your server.

Navigate to the remote directory you want to list.

Drag index.php and the .directory-lister folder from the already open folder into the folder in WinSCP.

NOTE: For instructions on connecting to a server with WinSCP, click here.


Step 4 - Upload other files

Upload any files you would like to be listed to the same directory as index.php.

NOTE: Make sure not to overwrite index.php or Directory Lister will not work.


Step 5 - View the page

Open your favorite web browser and navigate to your page. If Directory Lister was properly installed you should see a listing of all containing files/folders.
