Get file list from URL/web directory

Hey guys,
I have created a script for After Effects that can download multiple images from URLs that are given in an array. Now ideally what I want, is to get all the filenames of the files in a certain browsable web directory to be put in an array.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Does someone have the knowledge here to help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge

This is more difficult to do than it seems. Since the files are on a remote web server, you need to find some way to get the server to divulge its local file structure, which is not something most servers will do. The absolute best way is to have control over the web server and run some server-side code (PHP, node.js, whatever) to generate the file list on the server side and then fetch it with your client/extension/script. Other than that it's almost impossible to get a 3rd party server to divulge its file structure as far as I know, mainly for security reasons. So the #1 question is: do you have control over the server/website that you're trying to fetch from or not?

  • Web Matrix FTP Remote Connection Error - "Connection Error - Failure to get file list from server. An entry with the same key already exists."

    Does anyone have experience with this issue when connecting to a Linux FTP Web Server running a FTP Site?
    "Connection Error - Failure to get file list from server. An entry with the same key already exists."
    I cannot access the root directory of the ftp file server using Web Matrix 3. The site is .php based, and
    is accessible when connecting with FileZilla or Remote Connecting via FTP with Visual Studio.
    All sites have been deleted from Web Matrix, the user Application Data has been cleared and Web Matrix has been reinstalled.

    Thanks in advance,

    Turns out that the program leaves metadata in your app data folder that is not removed upon uninstallation of the software.
    This is incorporated to communicate with a file that uploaded into the ftp directory when publishing pages.

  • Java does not get file list from shared folder in another server.

    Hi,
    I'm using java 1.4.2.16,
    Command below does not get file list.
    import java.io.;*..
    File file = new File("\\\\10.242.22.28\\SapMII");
    File[] files = file.listFiles();
    SapMII folder is Everyone full Control permission.
    How can i solve this problem?
    Thanks.

    Could you please post replies in a more helpful way? Just informing me that it was an NPE doesn't really tell me anything. Post the stacktrace (Exception#printStackTrace()). And the listFile() methods API has this to say:
    Returns null if this abstract pathname does not denote a directory, or if an I/O error occurs.I'm able to run this sample code easily:
    import java.io.File;
    public class TestFileList {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              File file = new File("\\\\10.40.55.33\\shared");
              File [] files = file.listFiles();
              for(File currentFile: files )
                   System.out.println(currentFile.getName());

  • Is there any way to collect the file list from UTL_FILE_DIR.

    I expect the use "Oracle supplied package UTL_FILE" to import our customer order shipments to table by XML format files. I already did the procedure to import one XML file into Table by DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML and UTL_FILE. GET_LINE. And it did work.
    My question is :
    Is there any way to collect the file list from UTL_FILE_DIR. (I put all import XML files into `/usr/tmp?, I want to get all file names from this folder and feed them into UTL_FILE.FOPEN.)
    Thanks in advance

    UTL_FILE_DIR is a very dangerous and deprecated parameter. Oracle very specifically recommends not using it. You should be using directory objects instead.
    As for doing a directory listing, you can use Java stored proc. External procs/functions are not required.
    The following sample shows how to use such a Java stored proc to insert the result of a directory listing into a session temporary table:
    create or replace and compile java source named "ListFiles" as
    import java.io.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    public class ListFiles
            public static void getList(String directory, String filter)
            throws SQLException
                    File path = new File( directory );
                    final String ExpressionFilter =  filter;
                    FilenameFilter fileFilter = new FilenameFilter() {
                            public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                                    if(name.equalsIgnoreCase(ExpressionFilter))
                                            return true;
                                    if(name.matches("." + ExpressionFilter))
                                            return true;
                                    return false;
                    String[] list = path.list(fileFilter);
                    String element;
                    for(int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
                            element = list;

  • FTP Get File List Action Block, It's double listing files!  ver 11.5

    Hi guys.. I have a good one!   I have an FTP Get File List action block in my BLS transaction.  Occasionally, it double lists the files in its output.   For testing I put a repeater with a logevent output where I log the filename, date, and size.  Heres what I saw for my action block output.
    2009-02-13 00:38:00,963  [UserEvent] : File Name: DMM_Export_0010056.txt, File Date 2009-02-13T00:36:00, File Size 339
    2009-02-13 00:38:00,963  [UserEvent] : File Name: DMM_Export_0010056.txt, File Date 2009-02-13T00:36:00, File Size 339
    This is xMII  version 11.5.6 b73  with java 1.4.2_07
    I have a workaround by putting in a distinct action block, after the filelist, but anybody have an idea why this might happen?   My theory is that something might be occuring if the file is being written to while we try to process it, but not sure. 
    I've been building BLS parsers since 2003, (Remember those fun times with Jeremy?)   I've never seen this happen.

    My example is a sample log file before the distinct action.  The general log shows nothing other than the subsequent transaction errors I get as a result of running the same error twice (Tcode return from BAPI calls etc)
    Here is something else interesting..  my userlog file is acting funny, like its trying to write on top of itself.  could it be the transaction is actually running twice or parts of it? 
    For example look at the following log entries
    This is how my log file entry for a production confirmation should look
    2009-02-13 00:38:06,854 [LHScheduler-Int10_NestingWOProdConf] INFO   UserLog - [UserEvent] :
    However sometimes... its looking like this...
    2009-02-13 2009-02-13 00:38:11,854 [LHScheduler-Int10_NestingWOProdConf] INFO   UserLog - [UserEvent] :
    Like it started writing to the log, then started again.
    The problem we are having is that we have JCO calls to SAP in this transaction that does goods movement, we get locking / block errors back from our  saying that we (our sap account) is already updating the information.   Sometimes the information would be posted twice!  You can see how this has become a HUGE issue posting data to a LIVE system twice.
    This is happening on 2 xMII servers.
