Hi all,

So....I want to be able to show the number and name of items in a folder/directory hosted on my server to any person using the interface.

Basically this would work like a library inventory . The user would put in their name hit a button and the next layout would show the contents of a folder that has their name as its handle. ( John's Folder ) has x.pdf y.pdf and abc.pdf. So if another pdf say mmm.pdf is added it would show mmm.pdf as well.

Any help with plugins, JavaScript or any tutorials would be most apreciated.

Luke

I don't believe that you can do that on Javascript. If you use Java, you can "walk the file tree."
