Question Get filenames from web server folder

[sisquo76]

Is it possible to get all filenames (for example *.zip) from folder on a web server?

Thanks,

Generally not. The administrator would have to have allowed browse permissions to the folder, which would be rare. If they have, you could then use an HttpWebRequest and parse the response. I'm not sure what the response would look like but there's a good way to find out: try it and see.

Thank you for your response.

It is most common to do that with FTP, if you have such access to the server. For general public web servers it is not possible to do.
