If you have FTP access to the server that hosts the file, you can get listing information using Rev commands.

http:// will give you some information if the server allows. Apache can list a folder like this

http://website.com/unsecuredfolder/

will show a nice formatted listing like this

Parent Directory 30-Nov-2007 15:07 - 01_navicatOutNoNulls..> 30-Nov-2007 15:07 43k 02_getSQLDumpStock.png 30-Nov-2007 15:07 45k 03_sqbHack.png 30-Nov-2007 15:07 42k 04_libdb getSQLDump.png 30-Nov-2007 15:26 59k 05_sReportNULL.png 30-Nov-2007 15:26 38k 06_sReportNULL2.png 30-Nov-2007 15:26 65k from which one can extract info. But you are at the mercy of the web designer and the server for that information. If he doesn't want a folder exposed, you are out of luck for examining the contents at the file level. If the folder has an index.html file inside or is httpd protected, you will get a blank page or an error page as a result in a browser or in Rev. And if it's not an Apache server, the listing might look different.

Also many pages are PHP and what you get is not what's in the original file.



Hello list,

I want to get the modification date of a file on Internet, say for instance "www.richard-hillen.de/gkz_status.txt"

How can I do that?

Thank you,
Richard.
