When a web browser is pointed to a directory on your website which does not have an index.html file in it, the files in that directory can be listed on a web page.
Directory Lister is a simple PHP script that lists the contents of any web-accessible directory and allows navigating therewithin. Simply upload Directory Lister to any directory and get immediate access to all files and sub-directories under that directory. Directory Lister is written in PHP and distributed under the MIT License.

Directory Lister requires PHP 5.3+ to work properly. For more information on PHP, please visit http://www.php.net.
