A server that allows FTP access to a directory holding files is not the same thing as "a website". Webservers often do not allow access to file directories. Even when you upload files to a webserver using FTP, the place you upload them to is - in some cases - a virtual directory from which the server moves the files to their required final position. In general if you ask about a program to see files on a website, people will assume you mean "any website". It seems that what you mean is your own website, which is altogether a different thing, as you know the location and access password for it... Does FTPc allow one to save a directory list? I'm not sure about RO, but it's possible that under eg Windows that an ftp specification of a directory can be used as a target for a dir to be investigated (by any disk scanning tool) in much the same way that network shares can be. -- Jeremy C B Nicoll - my opinions are my own.
