MakeIndex - to create index.html files in a directory tree ---------------------------------------------------------- This program contains two executables. MakeIndex.exe creates an index.html file in a specified directory and all of its subdirectories (including sub-sub, etc). ClearIndex.exe deletes all of the index.html files in the specified tree. PARAMETERS Both programs take a single parameter, which is the name of a directory. That is used as the root of the directory tree where the index files are to be created. If no parameter is given, the current directory is assumed. MOTIVATION I wrote MakeIndex after I discovered that most web browsers are dropping FTP support. These index.html files give you an HTTP "echo" of your FTP site. This works only if your FTP directories are inside your HTML tree, or if you can create a new realm to map to your FTP directory tree. The next release of my Webserve.exe web server will allow that mapping, but with some web servers you might need to rearrange your directories to make the new index.html files visible to the web server. The ClearIndex program is included in case you accidentally run MakeIndex on the wrong directory. It is there only to save you from a tedious manual deletion.
