I have this problem, I wish to access the directory on a site, but it does not let me, the directories files are accessible to public, but the directory contents itself are not accessible.
When I type a certain directory url say http://www.site.com/example/

it gives me this...

"Directory Listing Denied

This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed."

Now when I use a search engine the search engine shows some of the pages in that directory based on what search function I typed in

So here's a question does anyone know of a program perhaps or a specific tool on the net that can "open up" and show this virtual directory contents to me?
The site I am trying to access is: http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath536/

Well, the reason behind it is much a long and drawn out explination that serves no real purpose to answer. But you can find your page by looking at it through www.mathpages.com/home


But, a breif explination on it is this. Directory listing would list the links and such without opening the page. With a website like this people could easily steal this work that way. Or simply get confused and not look through it. Like the index would show Sciforums in example like this.


Index/

Forum files
Recent.gui
banners.gui
and ect.

But since you do not see sciforums under indexed views it shows up like how you see it now.
