If directory listing is not enabled, in say IIS, apache or Njinx you can still access resources if the regular expression entered in the browser matches and item in the directory – i.e. index.html, mypic.jpg etc. So one could list the contents of a directory not set to list everything by just trying all different regular expressions and listing the ones that were valid matches. Is there an easier way to do it than this?
Without help in some kind (by web server, administrative interfaces (ie WMI) or a web service running in the web) you won’t probably be able to get a directory listing in a fast and reliable way. Is it your website? If so, I would go for a web service.
