Discussion Character

Main Points Raised

  • Another participant shares a link to a script that seems to meet the request but notes it results in a 403 forbidden error, suggesting it may be related to folder settings on the web host.
  • A later reply indicates that the script does work if folder indexing is enabled, implying a potential solution to the error encountered.

Is there any kind of utility or even a quick script-on-a-page I can drop into a folder on my webhost that will let me view all the pics in that folder without having to itemize them?

I just want a utility that goes 'here is a (full-size or thumbnail) list of all images in this folder (on my webhost).

Well, sure.

Actually, that script I linked to works - all I got to do is turn indexing on in the folder.
